"Time spent as a temporary worker in japan or anywhere is just wasted time unless it leads to a good secure permanent job or you start your own company."
Security is an illusion. People, who seek security, are actually furthest away from it.
"Regardless of Japanese language skills, these lucky foreigners in Japan rarely become managers and get stuck doing English-language related work forever. Most leave for foreign companies or leave the country. The Japanese dream rarely lasts for those wishing to progress their careers."
Nobody ever becomes rich, or gets ahead in life working for other people.

This is awesome... Give before you take... Good business practice... But on the receiving end, I would hold back from ever getting anything for free (that is not a gift from family/relative), or cheapen myself by not paying the full price and always buying things on sale.

"I just dont like it when Asian girls bleach thier hair blonde. Asian girls are already very beautiful. They dont need to do that."
I highly agree. Asian girls, who bleach their hair a shade of brown is okay, as "black" hair is supposed to be really dark brown anyways. But blonde? That like pretending to be Caucasian... so fake!

Hmmm, these folks never heard of banks? Just out of curiosity, are bank deposits in Japan even insured by the government, like in North America?
Anyways, money doesn't always buy happiness, but it can sure take happiness away from you, like when you get into debt...

Thing with dressing so pretty is, someone else is bound to outdo. When that happens, then what?

This guy's got no girlfriends... Hence, the need to be flashy to attract attention. However, he isn't the player-type either... He's probably doing it just for the sake of doing it and enjoying life. Hence, this is why this picture is A-OK in my book!

Asians tend to look young. You can usually tell their age by the wrinkles around their eyes, especially at the corner of their eyes when they smile.

If I didn't know his name, I wouldn't be able to tell if he is Japanese, or Chinese, or Filipino... Some people from these Asian areas look that similar!

Oh, I forget, with the Opera "notepad", all changes are immediately auto-saved, meaning you don't have to save anything to any file. The browser remembers what you stored in the notepad, even 0.1 millisecond after your last "notepad" entry your computer crashes. Now, that is convenience.

In so far as web browsers go, Opera rules!
Here's why:
=> You can take notes. Very often, you want to cut and paste something from a web page. The Opera "notepad" opens in a tab inside the browser. Can you do this with IE? It's very cumbersome to have to open Windows notepad, just to take notes, and then forget where you stored them.
=> In Opera, you can view all your simultaneously downloads in one tab, pause, and resume with the file transfers manager. When you're downloading more than one file simultaneously in IE, it's very annoying to have to scroll thru the download windows to check if your downloads have finished.
=> The toolbar. Folks, I have an icon to each of my most frequently visited site on a single line of the Opera toolbar. All the web sites that I frequent are one click away. There are about 25 favicons on my toolbar right now, and it's compact, and not even cluttering the browser. In IE, you'd have to click on Favorites (that's one click), click on any subfolder under favorites (that's two clicks), and find what you're looking for (that totals three clicks).
=> Opera speed dials. In case you want to quickly bookmark a web site, you just drag it onto a speed dial, which has a thumbnail preview, so you won't forget what the web site is about later on. Google Chrome tried to rip off this idea via 9 most visited web sites. But this defeats the idea that you can't choose the contents of the "speed dials" in Google Chrome.
=> Security. I stopped using IE as my main browser along time ago, during an age where I would get malicious software installed on my computer just from visiting a web site with IE.

Lol with $100-$200 more, you could get a deccent travel laptop that doubles as an ebook reader. Why anyone would spend money on an e-book reader is beyond me...

Lol... Good for the parlor! They needed to have this lesson! This is how you properly collect money from any kind of machines: Hire two armed police officers to stand on guard while you collect the money!
