    I'll be lining up for one of these for sure.

    The stereotyping and nastiness in this thread is just amazing, and I mean from both sides. People only seem to be talking from their own personal experiences and thinking that what they say is the one and only truth on the matter, when in fact they have only experienced a little tiny part of "Japan" or "the West". Just becuase someone has lived or studied in another for 6 months or even a year doesn't mean they know a lot.

    I've spoken to quite a few Japanese people about this topic just by chance recently. Most of those people told me that they preview dubbing.

    Rjdsr, how many newspaper articles ever get sources? If you want proof and evidence for every online and offline newspaper item, there'd be no space for the actual story. Who has ever done that?

    Anyway, your comment is completely irrelevant and off-topic. I know it's difficult for you to post relevant comments, but if you could just even try, the JT would be a better place.

    By the way those seats are reclined in the picture, rather easy to see how they avoided head injuries :)

    In the end, does it really matter? Japanese men are are the overwhelming majority here, non-Japanese are a tiny minority. Then the non-Japanese are teachers, professionals etc. etc., so the chance of everyone finding something for them must be quite small, no?

    Illsayit, I think you should really go back and read Azrael's post, it's pretty good.

    Actually, I think I did a "Hilary" and mispoke myself. In many countries divorce is rising, not necessarily most countries.

    "... fewer people staying in bad marriages", and that is not a bad thing is it. If we can terminate an unsatisfactory business or political agreement, we should be able to freely do that same with marriage.

    I'm not particualarly for or against marriage, but most people here seem to have a pretty negative opinions of the "institution". True, in most countries divorce is on the rise, but does that make marriage a bad thing? I think the cause of this is that most people marry for the wrong reasons. A lot of girls I know here in Japan just want to marry, just because they want to marry, which seems kind of silly to me (even my sister back home always used to talk constantly about getting married just because she wanted to). I can hardly imagine many of those marriages being happy and healthy in the long run. I think that kind of marriage is good for making kids, but little else, it won't provide much else for the husband and wife.

    I don't think enka is dead, but everything does change over time and Jero will bring change and probably more interest to it.

    Actually, I have to agree with rjd jr on this one. I certainly wouldn't like to set up a trip like this one by myself. I want to enjoy my trip, not spend my life arranging it to save a few dollars/yen/pesos etc. I'd love to go on such a trip and absolutely indulge myself (which I think is the whole point of this package trip). And if I were that rich why would I be worried about the money? At any rate, would be a good way to spread my wealth around and provide a few jobs.
