What shocks me more is that why does it have to be written not in Japanese to be known or discussed? Why isn't there investigative programs on television to expose who these vulture employers are? It's very simple, some one or ones at high levels are too involved with it…

According to his confession (Through the police whilst getting almost tortured) he said that he had done this over a hundred times? Not defending the guy but why does it seem that these people spill their guts so easily? For doing what he did though he doesn't deserve the phone…

Sydenham: Which means that if we as foreigners offered them that gateway of opportunity then they really do have a chance. The only problem that they have depending on the type of product that they have can sometimes be the reverse scenario of having to deal withthe legal process and…

tkoind2: Excellent post! One thing though in regards to the government helping people start small businesses. I do believe that they do something on a prefectural level. It also depends on the prefecture. I have a friend in Miyazaki who is trying to get something up and running and he…
