Tourism, then and now

Paul from Levin

The Japanese are getting annoyed by the impacts of high numbers of tourists in their daily environment and yesterday I heard that the daily number of people allowed to climb Mt Fuji is going to be limited. I don't remember the number currently climbing each day but it amounted to many thousands causing predictable harm to the environment.

I took these two photos when I climbed the mountain in 1960.
The zig-zag trip up, and the gravelly sliding way down

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
