there's also some things you cant even compare price on because you can only get that level of service or infrastructure etc in Japan, whether it because other countries are years or decade behind or just don't get it.

Japan is cheep and simple compared to the UK full stop. Add simple transport to the list.

"virtually the entire world opinion is against it
Rubbish. Certain media outlets/individuals might want you to believe that, but looking around and seeing the actual voices of various peoples over the last couple of days it would seem the tide is turning and people have grown weary of the pro-violence, pro-cultural imperialist collection of misfits and their illegal and self-satisfying acts of terrorism."
wise words, couldn't agree more

"And this from my daily yomiuri today:
""Olympus submission of false statements was a very serious matter, but its impact was limited, the senior TSE official said. The official suggested that, at present, Olympus actions do not warrant delisting"""
WTF, just what does a J-company have to do to get into trouble, be criticized, fined, people jailed...................... now if it had been a company based from Europe or NAmerica I wonder what we wud be seeing now.............unbelieveable"
NOT TRUE WHERE was the current global recession started and caused by and for what kind of shady unregulated things?...

"Not a single woman in this photo. Come on TSE get your act together."
...maybe it's the women that need to get their act together if they WANT to be there.

"Japan will need much more than praise from him and his family."
People who say that no doubt making Japan the world around them a better place?
Besides, the Japanese people will listen to the Emperor as opposed to listen to some other rubbish and the foreign press is happy to pick up these routine end of years stories after a less than routine year. Think about it.

Cant trust woodfood either. Better a fresh breath of air if further change required after getting rid of the culprits already.

oh come on! where are the next Olympics???..in one of the countries with one of the worst obesity issues and unhealthy lifestyles!!
Japan the only g7 country that doesn't have an obesity /health issue.
longevity and health right up at the top.
a bit of smoke give me a break!
At least they know how to find an ASHTRAY for their stubs, instead of the road/side walk water ever!
Maybe if they want to learn about smoking maybe international visitors could learn about manners.

"you are doing more harm now then good to olympus now. thank you for your efforts but door is that way.
sincerely, employees of olympus"
that because this is about his selfish self and NOT about helping olympus. he already has enough workers at olympus that don't like him for his work up until this latest episode.

"Woodford should not quit. Are you crazy? He is the only one cleaning up the mess "
he's not clearing up any mess ...he has his own self interests to boot too
" But there is no evidence supporting a claim that he is not "clean""
You would know and prejudge that so quickly?... there are reports of him being he not the most liked person in divisions of olympus around the world and that evaluation has nothing to do with his current spat with the board.

There's no way Mr Woodfood has any great future in Olympus.
He is just trying to save face himself and being selfish again.
He has enough haters from his own work at Olympus in the last several years.
No way Mr Woodfood.
Get someone else who's more trustworthy and not greedy if you want major reform.
It's predictable the unquestioned support that there is from some quarters maybe from other belittled foreigners when they know very little about the man or company.
