well I know some people who would not vote for DPJ no matter how low LDP sunk because of their dislike for Ozawa - hopefully this will now change

The only thing that concerns me here is the trip Shinagawa every time it needs updating.
Usually when I have to update my gaijin card I am making other updates in the ward office so I would have to make double trips. Why can't they have a bureau in the ward office for processing this - oh wait they do! Well now they do.

I know when our street was done last year as our house is in the process of being built on it!
Personally I like the street view service and find it very useful.

Average - better than some worse than others.
Living in West Tokyo the main bugbear is location. Now if Hanada plans go through and that opens up to more international flights - excellent!
Immigration lines are nothing compared to the US or UK.

Does not sound like Google infringing on human rights but Japanese companies and their hiring laws.
But hey - no news there!

because most use them for hay fever here. i have actually seen very few face masks in the last weeks now the season is over.
Japanese do need to learn how to sneeze and cough without showering everyone in germs though

hell yes - and certain institutions in Japan are falling for it hook line and sinker.
Think for yourselves people and think objectively. If you sneeze maybe something went up your nose...

the story I read on the BBC was that local government departments had been told and then Bloomberg complains about it - obviously his team forgot to tell him.
However, completely inappropriate.

Why is the media fixated with this 100 days thing? You can't do anything in that amount of time in any government, especially the US.
I would preferred to have answered "Too soon to tell"
Ask again in 2 years time

never understood that but what I am saying is to me J-Pop sounds like SAW. I love 80's music many great bands just not SAW (for me) and J-Pop now.
Good job a lot of Japanese have great taste in music evident by the success of British bands here

because on the whole westerners don't like their music. The (nearly) all sound the same and just don't excite us. It's like Stock Aitken Waterman from the 80's - man was that dross!!
