    "pestronika..... check again, its Seoul."

    Well if you define a hub is a place catering for international travel then based on international flights Narita and Hong Kong are higher than Seoul. Actually Seoul and Narita are very similar in numbers.

    So why are you so sure Seoul is THE main hub of Asia???

    Anyway Air France flight I find pretty good on board; good food, service, free champagne.

    Its the ground experience that doesn't compare though. Also catching connecting flights from other busy airports in Europe to Paris CG is a night mare... just a one hour hop can take several hours and there are many stores of Air France having to put passengers up in Paris because of the poor connecting flights. Imagine that your 12 hour flight turning into 36 hour flight, just because of some pants connection, because Paris CG and other airports in Europe always run late, unlike Narita, which even though carrying more passengers does it on time...well Japan does have priority on being on time and customer service down to tee relatively.

    If it was direct flight to Japan then airfrance would be one of my favourite European options to getting top Japan.

    "Just getting through immigration would be a nightmare due to the mass volume of people "

    really?? never been delayed flying from Europe to Japan.. getting through Narita is a breeze compared to some European airports or American ones.

    Narita always seems dead to me.. especially when compared to other top 10 busiest airports that handle a similar or less amount of traffic.

    "After all, U.S. flood aid is a small portion of the billions of American dollars that have been shipped to Pakistan since the Sept 11, 2001"

    sounding like an excuse compared to the money donated recently by individuals in other g8 countries...let alone governments and their invested interests

    feel the hate

    well they are

    "Such knowledge, and the great swell of pride that derives from it that is familiar to all those lucky enough to be born in England"

    doesnt matter no one will be listening or it will be barely reported elsewhere... more important to promote how great ones country is in those places by ramming war history down our neck. peace can wait... while kids are still dying from depleted uranium shells from wars that have since gone by... thats how serious people take wars and bombing of Japan and have learnt little.. because the the practice of long term suffering still goes on after say for example the gulf war was finished. Most people think a war is a simple thing that is over in a few weeks. evident by recent wars devoid of planning for anything after an initial punch up with little thought about what happens next.

    "Too little, too late....just like the French."

    ....just like the Americans!

    but this is just words they have already been fighting and spending their countries resources on this.

    "But...Blackberries have been out for ages. Why all the fuss about a smartphone now?"

    but smartphones have been around before blackberry and email was pretty standard in Japan as versus SMS text a lot longer than that.

    “call girls” what does this mean? is this a deliberate word play by the times?

    ...could mean very different things to what it means in the uk and have quite different levels of social acceptance (the uk doesn't have much of a range on these things and this pretty much means one thing there)

    "You should consider the fact that Japan does not pay for the military equipment nor the personel. They only pay for the land and the cost of operation of the land. If they had to actually pay for a full military they would be spending a hell of a lot more then what they do now"

    ..not true is that?

    ... I think you might be judging by usa standards, which the usa spends a massive massive amount(doesn't it) on military compared to other developed countries. Japan doesn't need to be the same as the USA military wise and that would certainly make sense as the two countries in the last 50 years think quite differently in how to go about world affairs.

    Possibly better that Japan was maybe more like a mix of some over developed countries military wise with still a focus on diplomacy how it chooses.
