Currently for a family room for 3 nights (FriSatSun) it's �106 which works out �26.50 each based on 4 people sharing a room ...

Hali — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:25:06 GMT

�Middle-aged virgins,� men whose only sexual activity is onanism, are being highlighted as a major problem in Japanese society, with their numbers burgeoning even as youthful sexual activity increases, creating a �sexual bipolarisation.� Some data indicates as many as 24.3% of males aged 30-35 are virgins, a statistic which seems to have been worsening, and these men are overwhelmingly poor, leading some to suggest female expectations play a role.

"The Japanese publisher East Press has sold 45,000 copies of the manga version of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler's manifesto Mein Kampf, amid renewed calls to drop the manifesto's ban in Germany.

Since the German state of Bavaria inherited the printing rights upon Hitler's suicide towards the end of World War II, the copyright holder ...
