Would enlighten me someone why is it arrogant that a food critique declares his or her right to say opinion about food? There is no consumer opinion in Japan: you eat what they advertise you. I see 10 TV programs a day on food and restaurants but all of them advertisments payed by the actual restaurants. For sure, they are outraged by hte "arrogant French" when once for a while someone actually have his or her oppinion on the service and food. Off course, it is always easier to say: "no gaijins!" and make some Nihon e Youkosou! campaign to show how friendly and hospital the Japanese.

Why one go for drinking, if wants to drive at home? It was a hostbar, come on, nobody goes there and order two hamburgers with a fry and Coke.
I mean, if I go to a bar for drink, I leave my car at home, and don't blame the bartender. If she would by alcohol from a vending machine, would the owner of the machine be responsible, too? Where does personal responsibility hide in this country?

But take some DNA sample first, so 20 years later at least you can prove if they were innocent... :)

I think she is a good choice for being Paris Hilton's newest best friend. Imagine her "Oh, I am so said, Papa joust bought me this violin worth millions, and i like to carry it around, when I am a tourist! I wanted a mummy or some other antics, but was too big, so didnt fit on the U-Bahn. I had to settle with a Gucci bag."

Who cares? It was 64 years ago. Get a life. By the way, there were no millions of Japanese victims, check any historical source. Even small Eastern European countries like Poland had much bigger loss in civilians.

Well, following oyu logic, that souldn't be of our interest either. So why we read JapanToday at all, it is not our country, it shouldn't bother us.
mittsu: I guess the lack of English skills at this age would be prevent them to deliver. :)

I don't believe in big dogs or verbal treat of the teachers. It is for s*ssies!
I think we should apply the good old American solution: If someone bullies you, you go down the shop buy an automatic gun, ammunition and some hand grenade. Shooting down some screaming students and teachers gains you respect, and no-one wants you fark with you again! Yeah!

@big Indeed. But I find superficial when someone doesn't even know which country his husband is from. Oh, some gaijin, they are all the same.

My opinion about that manga is very low, in spite or because I live in a international marriage, too. It is pretty shallow, and full of these "look, a gaijin! and he eats spaghetti" kind of informative stories.
From the original book, it doesn't even turn out the Laszlo is an American. He is said to be Italian and Hungarian, then on the next page they discussing that he first heard about soccer in Japan. Yes, he is an Italian according to the story, who haven't heard about soccer till coming to Japan..

There is some sick irony in that the Japanese are reluctant to kill a puppy, if their dog accidentally has a bunch of offspring, and they look down really on anyone, who would do, but they seem happy and motivated when it is about killing their own family.

Come on, it is pathetic. I cannot recall any case, when drifters made any serious accident, or other ways cause problem. High-school kids riding bicycle at night without light, writing email on their keitais and riding in the opposite to the traffic or kei-river mamas slaloming on the highways to get faster and faster.. imho, these ones are more serious problem.

Well, do you means skeletons with the IBM-tattoos from Auschwitz? You know, it is irrelevant, as factual evidences generally don't play important role in any nations "ancient history" concept. It is also irrelevant, as for many Japanese their relation with Jews are determined by two points: Jews already got the "best banker and masterminds" and the "poorest victims of the WWII" medals, and this seriously heart some Japanese egos, who wants these medals in their pocket.

While I am not an experienced PADI instructor, my opinion is that an instructor is responsible for the life of the students. If there is a danger, he/she must recognize it, he/she should be aware of it and procede according to. Because it is his/her job.
If a student makes a fatal accident at a drivers test, no one says the "oh, driving a car is dangerous if you don't know how to do. poor kid, but it was an accident"

Japanese cities and districts where owners banned foreigners to rent housing, because foreigners commit crime: all. Japanese cities and districts where owners banned Yak to rent housing, because Yaks commit crime: Akasaka district.
Hurray!

To rank tourist to be good or bad from the practical point of view of some major hotel chain, is pretty limited and ignorant. Come on: how much they tip (yeah, we love money), how clean they are (yeah, we dont like to clean the room)? Even if they are valid criteria, it tests a certain category of tourist, during a certain activity. I cannot see how would it be representative to the Britons in Mallorca fornicating with drunk wales.

I completely agree with these old Japanese.
The old way it is much more fun: how can one sexually harass a girl, if the girl is wearing skirt, talk laud and maybe not even a virgin blushing with the excitement that I am groping her on a crowded train. Oh tempura, oh mores!

How tall is a 2 years old child? 80 cm? J drivers cannot spot anything smaller then an elephant, so I don't think she had any chance on the crossing to be recognized.
