@pandabear: As I noted, it is safe to visit Japan. Your concerns will mostly be regional; so, unless you're planning to go to the Fukushima area, you're very likely to be perfectly safe. The primary issues relate to long-term threats over many years, not if you are just coming to visit.

If you need some specific information on radiation, perhaps this recent update on radiation and food safety in Japan will help you understand that it is not something you as a visitor have to be that concerned about when considering a trip: http://www.jnto.go.jp/eq/eng/04_recovery.htm

If you have more specific questions, I can try to find whatever there is to help explain further, but in general, the answer to your question is "the radiation is still an issue for the plant and surrounding area, but it is not a major issue for someone coming to visit other parts of the country". So, please don't let concerns over the nuclear plant crisis keep you from visiting Japan.

@pandabear: The radiation in Japan is still "a thing", as it remains an ongoing situation. But... if you're asking whether it's safe to travel to Japan, sure it is. Go visit Japan.

Most of Japan is fine. It's a big country. I wouldn't recommend going to check out around Fukushima, but if you're worried about negative effects from a short visit or even months there, well, then you're getting worried for little reason. There are real concerns in Japan, but they are in specific areas. And any larger issues for the nation are years-long and not something that would generally impact someone visiting. If you're worried about seafood, just make sure to buy locally and not get seafood from areas you're worried about. Japanese cities are usually pretty good for local sources.

The crisis is real, and efforts continue to minimize the long-term negative impact. But as far as you going there for a while, unless you have plans to visit Fukushima, there is little significant danger. Go visit Japan and enjoy yourself. It's a big, interesting country.

Man, why do you people need to change this to a Global Warming topic. Can't we just post snowman .jpgs instead?

Yeah!

More fun snowmen, particularly from the Middle East!

@demoskinos: You may want to also fix that it's "Cairo" instead of "Cario". (though thanks for originally fixing it to reflect that plenty of the Middle East gets snow!)

If you just picked it up, go back into that store and show them. Then exchange it for a real new copy. Maybe it's one of those "new" games that was played by a GameStop employee and then repackaged.

Sure. I enjoyed it without mods, and mods can just make it even better.

This is cool for Cairo, but uh... this is by no means the first time in 100 years snow has fallen in the Middle East. It snows regularly in many parts of the Middle East. Sometimes quite a lot. Cairo just isn't one of those places due to its particular geography.

Get... him... out of here...
