What country is Ghajar City located in?
According to UN Maps, Ghajar is half in Israel and half in Lebanon. However, since the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War, the Ghajar in its entirety has been under Israeli military control. There was a UN-brokered deal in 2007 between the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) and the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) for the Israelis to pull back to the UN recognized border, however the LAF backed out of the deal before it was implemented due to pressure from Iranian-backed terror group, Hezbollah. The majority of residents although, Alawite Muslims, hold Israeli citizenship and would like for the village to remain under Israeli control. However, when the village council attempted to fence off its northern and western border off to Lebanon, villagers were threatened by Hezbollah and the building of the fence was immediately halted. Until further notice Ghajar and its residents remain in a closed military zone.
What type of shelter do they have in Pompeii?
Pompeii was a city of several thousand people before it was buried. The buildings you see today are made of stone and the wooden roofs or buildings all burned in the eruption. Inside the building the art on the walls can still be seen and the colors are still vivid. It is amazing. I was there 6 years ago and barely got to see the whole city, but what I did see was worth the trip.

Is it respectful for Japanese children to call their parents by their first name?
Really, in all likelihood, it just wouldn't be done. It's not so much disrespectful as it is entirely unthinkable.
Yes. The volcano near Pompeii is Vesuvius It has erupted many times before and after the famous 79 AD eruption. The last one was in 1944.

Pompeii Worms live on hydrothermal sea vents at the bottom of the ocean ranging from 6,500-10,000 ft. below sea level
What has been happening in the pompeii ruins?
Pompeii is still an archeological dig and is open for visitors. I was there in 05 and my big surprise was that I had to walk up hill in a tunnel to the ruins. The eruption dumped 65 feet of ash and rocks and that means the ground level today is below the Pompeii level. Not all of Pompeii is uncovered, but the city was large and the things you see today show you what life was like in 79 AD. Murals on walls of the villas are still as vibrant and colorful as they were when the eruption happened. If you live in California the Getty villa in Santa Monica is an exact copy of a Pompeii villa that is a museum of ancient art. It is free to visit and Getty copied it down to the plants that were found in Pompeii. It is worth a visit if you can get there.
