All the kids pitched up ready to go this morning but the school has decided to cancel the scheduled group trip to Japan.
The reason?

"Japan is insist on claim our territory. since then most Koreans avoid to travel to japan".

Don't you think thats a bit extreme??

Do they think a war is going to break out?

Most probably they think they'd get attacked in the streets of japan.

Sounds like an excuse to me.

Maybe someone rain off with the parents' money, and they're using the dokdo thing as a smokescreen for now until they figure out how to break it to everyone.

Who are the Koreans trying to kid. Japan if they wanted to, could reoccupy korea in a snap.

This Dokdo thing is getting really silly. Korea has had control of them since 1954. What more does Korea want? I know Japan considers them a part of Japan, but if Japan really wanted a few boring rocks, then they'd take it by force.

It makes sense and they were probably afraid of being discriminated(heh)

I just got back from Tokyo. I took the same bus and the same plane as my students because I saved some money that way, and I never heard Dokdo mentioned once from anyone on the way there, or back. Your school must be a bit nuts.

A group of teachers from my school are going on a trip to..... Dokdo! I couldn't help myself and had to ask "What can you actually do there?" "Say it's Korean" brilliant!!!!

the "takeshima mondai" has/had made its way around the news places here in japan when they announced the textbook change.
while the average person might not care, it has made it into the news.
and reports about schools cancelling trips to japan have been written in a few papers.

heck, even one of my co-workers was like, "why did your president say that takeshima belongs to korea?!"
