    only to you. Japanese can tell each other apart a lot better than you can. However if you are Japanese you must spend too much time at home blogging. Try to get out a bit more.

    ****They're called convenience stores because they're convenient for quick robbery. This one looks like American convenient stores. The robbers almost have to stand in line.

    Not the Japanese I know...."Shoko Asahara" could walk into a Koban in Tokyo asking for directions to the Hibiya-sen and the nearest place to buy industrial chemicals and the cops wouldn't think twice about helping him out, maybe even escorting him there...
