    At the end of it all, Japan had already compensated for the crime in 1965.

    I would have done seiza. Especially when the Emperor/Empress is doing seiza right infront of you. It's also very hard to keep your back straight without using the seiza form, as you can see from the picture.

    I'm sorry Mr. Rogers, but you are completely wrong. It is a typical westerner's attitude to think that you can go in to a store and get what ever you want. Those BBQ packets cost extra money as well as not filling a drink with ice. Your attitude reminds me of people from 3rd world countries where the people will do everything they can to get the most out of businesses like asking for no ice to maximize the amount of drink, haggling the price down all the time, taking extra packets of ketchup to take home, grabbing a handful of candies on the way out of the restaurant... etc.,

    It's pretty clear that the goalie net comment was a joke. I like it.

    I don't think Japanese execs are being over paid, but I do think the US execs are. Especially the wall street crooks.

    That's actually a pretty normal price for a decent office chair. It's not surprising to see office chairs in the $1000s.

    I must say that I was embarrased when Aso made his speech after Obama on his first day visit. Does he not prepare for media coverage? It definitly does not make Japan look like a world leader.

    It could be because NHK is actually very left-wing biased. Or at least that's the impression that I got a few years ago when I visited Japan.

    I have nothing but great experiences in Japanese hotels. They are the most professional group of workers.
