yeah - only in Japan. If a trainspotter gets on your carriage in the UK you would probably want to get off without being asked due to the smell!!!!
Never did get train/plain/etc spotting - weird!

key money still exists because the realtors charge one months rent as a fee - for renewal as well... This when you have probably done all the work for them!

A state that outlaw the WC - there is hope for the world. Should really change my name to "BoredOfTheWC" and I have not even watched any of it yet!

On Jetstar they already do something similar where they give you a console so this make perfect sense for them as the current console is about 3 times the thickness of an iPad so it will give them more storage space. But they would get even more if they gave everyone a seatback system like other airlines...

which is why they have already lost.... Try telling that to the Brazillians, Argentinians, French, English etc
But doesn't Japan have one of the largest populations of the competing countries? What am I missing?!?!?

Can you watch Japanese TV on the internet the way you can in for example UK? In the UK most of the channels seem to be available over the internet. You can even subscribe to Sky if you want.
If you can then do you need a TV? Would you have to pay NHK?

I left the UK 10 years ago and there were 5 channels - come back and with digital there appears to be hundreds! Guess that will happen too in Japan.
When I bought my last TV in Japan 7 years ago they were warning about the need to buy a digital compliant TV. Seeing as most gadgets like TV's have an intended useful life of 5 years I think they have been reasonable in their approach to the switchover.
Wait till after Japan flop out of the WC and TV prices will reduce significantly again.

I'm with tkoind2 - I am a big apple fan and will always promote MacBook, iMac etc but I really do not see the point in the iPad.
Even if I had the money, which I don't, I would not buy one.

wow! where does she hang out that she does not see Japanese men screaming at their wives? But worse than that is a Japanese "fishwife" going for it.
She really should try getting out of Ginza and Omotesando and discovering the real Japan

very, very tough to eradicate anything completely.
But how about tough prison sentences where they have to wear something different - same garb but different colour. And put them in gen pop...
Probably won't be that many repeat offenders...

Cleo beat me to the punch - too much salt in it for it to be healthy for me, not good for my blood pressure!

Smoking should be banned at a place of work and in the UK where it is that includes your lorry or your cab etc as that is your place of work.
Never understood why smoking is allowed whilst driving - if you smoke enough you are going to cause a problem some time or other whilst paying more attention to a live flame than the road.

Was lucky enough to be taken to a matsuzaka beef restaurant in shimbashi a few years back. Delicious and not as pricey as I thought (even though I was not paying)
Can't for the life of me remember the name of the place as I would happily tell you all.
Yum!

Very.
Maybe not as safe as it was but still very safe by comparison to most (if not all)

If I remember rightly Adidas did bid for the park as well. Actually I am not sure why people call it a park as it is mostly the roof of a car park and seriously shabby. I think the only people truly put out are the homeless who will have to find a new park to ruin
