maybe better without the coca cola part.
"Aimed at health-conscious women" ...most average japnese women i know, let alone "health conscious" although you could argue that they are; wouldn't touch coke if the last drink available because its so "unhealthy" and the taste is unrefined.

Simon "Just leave them overnight."
yeah right this is japan not the Uk... not an option mate.
this sounds like a gadget that in some place would be high on the mans shopping list thus to avoid what they might have to get involved with manually.
seriously though if you can get a dishwasher the dishes are dried ( and washed) when finished.

"Takaoka said she got on well with first-time director Woolfolk who spent A YEAR in Kochi on the JET program "
"There was a gap between the type of Japanese woman that I play and Aaron’s idea of a Japanese woman",
... that made me smile. But she seems to have quite fostering / mothering attitude to work with him and educate and visa versa i guess. Bit Intrigued more about these people and even to find out if indeed the movie is any good.

maintenance - all Japanese i 've met are always very shocked and think how japan is great when they see the number of broken down cars on hard shoulders of expresways abroad... hence the hard shoulders are needed so much. go a simple journey of 100 miles round say London on the "expressway" you will without fail see 2 to 10 broken down cars every journey. In Japan almost never. but hey dont have to pay so much for the maintenance or care about it so much in the uk so depends what you prefer. I get the impression basically this guy seems to know little about driving or japan, or really is in the wrong place and or wrong job.

wow some one in a bad mood twisting the reality and unable to find pleasure (point 1) where others easily have. I laughed at the point at the end when you admit you are wrong but then imeadiatly say BUT! you obviously didnt learn squat! {speeding!} and beacuse you were wrong and caught thats why you are in a bad mood and have written something thats fairly unbalanced globally as could be applicale almost anywhere. I got you are from the UK so that makes all Japanese BMW or Merc drivers then - point 4 - famous for blinkers that dont work or too difficult too operate. lol

"Are any of them older than 11??" yes in contrast to at least lets say western models (pro or otherwise)[ also in this case the age old debate of western women age faster in terms of looks] full personal stats are given on the website version at least.

Those foreign dudes that hassle people in Roppongi esepcially other foreigners passing by or on a night out, I find just put people off going into wherever they are rudly trying to get you to go into. Very unjapanese experience or not fitting in with other areas of tokyo. Even I would be offput if it were another country. I think the places would do better without them or if they changed their attitude and were more friendly and relaxed. would be glad to see the back of them.

"Ok... Where those clown bicycle Jcops when you need them..."
Looks like they are investigating the crime after it happened. What were you expecting? them to be on guard of this persons house as a pre-emtive measure?
"Japan's woefully inadequate legal system"
really, inadequate for what?

wow the TARGET for American cars in the future is SO LOW!!!!
30MPG!! lower (some by multiples say twice or three times) than cars produced and used elsewhere on the globe (already achieved) for the last 20, 30 years.
What can America teach or bring to the world... not much in this case!!
But they can and I have noticed in the last few years they are starting (having started from way way way way behind) to clean up their gready ways re over energy usage and carbon emissions. Can't really criticize developing countries say China, India ( or they aren't going listen so much) when places like the states are so not so developed themselves.
Anyway a move in the right direction to catch up... maybe in another decade can move forward to lead on this?

I wonder if that american thinks his move was so clever now?
Right now that stunt has moved human rights backwards there and especially for the person he visited. Yeah thanks for the visit, please go away!!!
Hopefully from this escalation, external pressure can do something ( holding breath).
