That'll be the last time a foreigner gets a management job in a Japanese company, anyway!

I did once try applying the term "gaijin" in an inoffensive and non-aggressive voice to a few random Japanese tourists walking around Oxford.
The looks of shock and perplexity were something to behold; obviously the term is not as neutral as many would like to think.
Posted in: Gaijin -- just a word or racial epithet with sinister implications?

Nissan get unrestricted access to the UK market, so they do alright.
I used to like JC until I heard he phoned Rupert Murdoch at midnight on New Year's Eve to wish him a happy new year. I believe he also said the Mitsubishi I was a "washing machine with doors on".

It isn't a closely guarded secret about the dangers of Caesium 137 , it's well-known.
Is it seriously only just coming into the public domain over there?
Oh dear oh dear. What kind of people are running the nuclear industry in Japan?

The strong yen is as much of a detterent to visiting Japan as anything else.
It may also help if the situation with radioactivity was not so confused. Where is the reliable data? What are the governments, local and national, doing over there?

The planes may be empty, but the ticket prices still haven't got any lower.

I think the Tokyo system is brilliant.
The trains are modern, wide, comfortable, cheap with an extensive system. You could spend your whole life there without having to use a car.
Stations also well-lit, well designed (Omote-sando!), and not threatening at all.
Finally, the people using them are clean and don't dump sweet papers, wrappers and uneaten food all over the place. UK trains have improved alot, but people using them are bloody dirty!

I used to think a bit like you, Proudnippon. Surely, with my education, experience etc., I'd be alright.
Been out of work for a year, now.

There's just been a big cosplay/anime festival in LA too- with no shortage of participants either.
Slight tinge of naughtiness aside, where would you go for a date with a cosplay partner??

But all those brand goods, private schools/yochiens, nice restaurants, furniture, new appartments/houses carry a hefty price.
And the average salaryman (and his family) will be dependent on the company for healthcare and pension.
Also, Japan didn't get to be an industrial powerhouse on family days-out to Disneyland.
Which way do they want it?
