Nippon Airways to offer women-only toilets

TOKYO - Women flying Japan's All Nippon Airways will have a toilet all to themselves from next month, with the airline designating one restroom on most international routes as female-only.

The airline said in a statement it was responding to "numerous requests for this service," adding that the toilet would be located in the rear of the plane and be available to women passengers from all classes.

An airline official told Kyodo news agency that ANA decided to designate women-only lavatories based on a 2007 online survey in which 90 percent of the women polled said they found the idea attractive.

Qatar Living behind Qatar 2022 - Go Qatar!

Rio de Janeiro's successful bid to host the 2016 Olympics looks like a sign for Qatar. It was only last June that Doha's bid for the Olympics was turned down by the IOC (even though some argue that the Qatar bid itself was better).

All the Olympic buzz placed Chicago, Tokyo and Madrid as ahead of Rio as favourites for the 2016 Olypmics. But less than a year later, Rio came up on top.

Qatar can certainly take heart from this. Qatar now has a dream to host the football World Cup in 2022.

If it happens, it will be the first time the World Cup travels to the Middle East and Qatar will become the first Arab country to host this prestigious event.

The road ahead is not easy and is difficult even for the biggest countries. But with the unwavering support and commitment to sport that Qatar has shown, even the impossible looks more doable.

Qatar Living has been tracking the growth of Qatar since 2005 and are fully behind the Qatar 2022 bid! We support the dream and bid for the 2022 World Cup!

We're proud to announce our unwavering support to the country's World Cup bid at the exact moment the Qatar 2022 bid website goes live.

Stand up, Qatar, look the world in the eye, take a bow and make us all proud!

TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama pledged Thursday to do his utmost to bring the Olympics to Tokyo in 2016 as he prepared to go to Copenhagen for the big vote.
"As long as I go, I want to win," Hatoyama told a group of reporters before heading for Tokyo's Haneda Airport. "If our rivals are moving ahead of us, we'll cruise to the top from behind."

Tokyo is vying with Chicago, Madrid and Rio de Janeiro to host the Summer Games in 2016. The International Olympic Committee will vote Friday to choose the site, with millions of dollars in construction, tourist revenues and sponsorships at stake.
