  That guy did not show any indication that he is begging for money. Not sure if it is good for his esteem if the woman were to drop him some coins.

  Do the foreigners still get the axe first even if their wages are lower? I know that certain job markets in Singapore tend to base their hiring decisions on cost competitiveness more than anything else.

  (Freeters/Neets and Net-cafe-nanmin make up about 30-60% of those in the underclass.)

  I have lost touch with the situation in Japan since the early 90's and I am really curious to find out what on earth bad has befallen the dynamic Japanese economy I once knew. Can someone be kind enough to recommend me a good book on this subject?

  Any idea how much does it cost to get a shoe shine in Tokyo?
