""protesters" - what protesters? Who are they? Who sent them there? For days the media didn't bother to ask."
The MEDIA is that the same as the "ROYAL WE"...not sure which news sources you are getting your opinions from.. Because the world's "the media " are asking and reporting those things.

obvious by the comments here some americas are so obsessed with muslims...try watching some news from other countries reporting from the same place and you will learn you are creating news out of your own prejudices..its a non issue..not happening...you are making the news up in your mind.

"Mohamed ElBaradei belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood. Sharia law is coming to Egypt." All we can do now is shrug our shoulders and lose Egypt as an ally."
i guess of a learner of a certain breed of narrow journalism, from america at a guess??...not listening to the word on street ( available from many news sources) from Egypt that doesnt echo that view

...a common complaint I hear from Japanese using other cities train systems is the lack of information or announcements or information boards ( silent)...thats why their train systems are rubbish and make it difficult for you to get places, etc, etc...
So information is good for some and done right makes the place brighter.

If they do, I hope it doesn't have too much of a negative impact on Japanese food, diet and health; especially when they are famous for that.

Talking further of unwanted noise....one of the best things about Japan trains I notice compared to UK or London is that they are pleasantly quiet and well behaved places...that is compared to the noisy selfish passengers you get too much on UK trains.

new minis are not fun to drive..non i have driven anyway...such a massive disappointment and horrible care to drive. Only a fashion car for women. Chauffeur driven in such a small car.. maybe really thinking of the customer.

American airline service at its best. Why is this sector so bad at service in America? Maybe they should learn a bit more about customer service and transport and punctuality and getting there from Japan. Had to say the last bit as its the only bit that could possibly link this local story in another country to Japan travel section.

Maybe with some time off and out in the real world he will realize what he has done with his cheap numerous very antisocial ipod headphones...such a problem listening to other rude people ( more of a problem in certain countries) music on trains, airports, etc.
Get some decent in ear headphones it will only cost a couple of dollars more.
Anyway being away from the office maybe he might see this antisocial behaviour that he has helped create... remember not every where has train manners.
