I said Mornin', oj tak*. Is there an echo in here, huh huh ma'am ma'am?

For neophytes, see man:

*oj tak = "si man" auf Polish

Yeah, the whole idea of another trip to the US is almost as crazy as my first one, in 2008, when I came to Seattle for a weekend

That is a long way to go just for a weekend!

some companies are very generous with maternity leave. Like 12 weeks paid and many months leave. But in my own opinion, I really do see it as scamming. I get it, they want to spend time with their babies. If that's the case, stay home, quit. But if they want to keep their careers, then they also have a responsibility to the company that treats them so well. Loyalty is owed.

But if the company is generous to the mother, she is generous to the company as well. It's a two-way loyalty.

Over here a paid maternity leave is 6 months (payment 100%) or a year (payment 60%), whatever you choose.

Sure when mother is out of the company for a year, there has to be some kind of substitute for this time, which can cause some hassle, but is there another way to let people to have babies if they don't have any support from their companies?

Sure, you can always make babies like crazy and stay being poor, jobless and go on a welfare. But that's not the healthiest way to solve this issue, is it?

Yes, it is

And I got visa just two weeks before the trip, cause it was a last minute idea

Came to meet some people I've met online.

And to some concert

It was crazy journey, but I created sooooooooo many good memories on that weekend!

Maternity leave in Japan? Upto 6 weeks after birth.

Most women here become housewives after having a child. Children take priority here. Many sexless couples here after childbirth, hence the steep decline in young people getting married (no sex, greater financial responsibilities for males etc)

Yeah, every country has a different way to solving this issue

So, before I even got in, the office girl tracked down the cameras, it was at the shop, in Manhattan. They swear up and down that we picked it up years ago. She laid into them and they found it by tracking the serial numbers. 2 cameras, 4 lenses.

We have cameras in hand. End of business dealings with......um....wth is the name of this Taliban company......
