$7500 seems a bit low

Plus 1-3m yen ($7500-22500) per household if certain conditions are met. But still too low imho.

Michael instead of Jackson. Elton and not John. Perhaps it’s because Elon is quite a unique name.

I always find it interesting that Monaco's citizens aren't actually allowed to gamble in their famous casinos.

The history of baseball is rounders, a game popular among children in Great Britain and Ireland

The recent protests and riots have really spooked Xi Jinping

We use this on our website and I think it’s a useful technique to gather the required data.

I’ve recently become obsessed with automatic watches. That would be my suggestion.

Not surprising. No wonder Republicans are so fixated with banning critical race theory.
