Don
t worry, you can now buy tickets in Europe. Read below link and dont care about J Tourist and Airlines anymore. Pay what you see online, not get ripped off and pay the same price regardless of place you buy from.http://euobserver.com/9/27020

Police do their job always perfect, I mean believe woman even though she didn
t see who really grab her. Feel sorry for us men that can spend 2-3 years behind bars for nothing. ("Oliver Twist" law in Japan). They should take fingerprints from grabbed womans skirt...Ouch...forgot, J people are angels and are not fingerprinted, so I was next to her too...Poor mePosted in: What do you think about the false accusation of groping against men on trains?

This is why this country is great for business owners. If I want to have some help I just can hire students for a few hours, give them 850yen/h and say Thank You. This is great country for easy exploiting people without any consequences which would be imposed to companies in Europe. As someone mentioned here, there are no labor union to protect temp workers. GoJ make law (polices) good for those who "contribute" to them. Business as usual here. As a good example I added link to new legislation from EU. Japan should learn something.

Please read again. This is why they lowered prices.
"...starting as low as 2,990 yen a month, less than half the cost at its introduction here last month. The fee offered then was 7,280 yen for unlimited use."
This is why I didn
t pick up iPhone, because of MUST pay unlimited internet use, but Son opened his eyes now for people like myself who doesnt need unlimited access. It still expensive though. I pay for 2 mobiles 4,000yen a month including callings. Most of my friends use Softbank this is why I pay so cheap. Besides, iPhone is not so comfortable to use. You need use two hands to write. I will stick with my phone and PPC iPAQ 210 with Wi-FiPosted in: Softbank to cut minimum monthly fee on iPhone to Y2,990

WOW!!! Long article. I was lazy to read but at least can comment title. Japanese cannot decide quick, they need meeting after meeting and after that another meeting about previous meeting, then they may finally get somewhere.

This is where Japanese are far behind the rest of the world. When I transfer pictures taken with my mobile to my iPAQ210 Enterprise, most of Japanese are sooo surprised how I do this that makes me surprised they don`t have idea what I do and have no idea they phones have BT too. The best is to stick to old style.
I mean, DAMN, infrared? I don't think I've ever seen ANYONE use infrared.
They do use my friend. They don`t know other ways. See above what I wrote :)

Hope it's only Hepatitis B not HIV which is worse. Regarding foreigner (if he is one) good he try to help, this is what we should do in some cases. Hope he will end up without any sickness. Hope Japanese Gov won't spread their propaganda saying that "B" came from Mr.foreigner because this is us who bring everything to Japan. Save Us innocent people from Japanese mentaly sick who don't need to be fingerprinted unless committed crime.

people this is very cruel crime, but take into account word in headline "Confessed". Well, maybe beaten to confess because Police screwed up and couldn`t find any evidence so they were waiting as usual when someone to turn to them itself.

Good advice, do not help anybody. Consequences? You will end up in jail for touching Japanese regardless what he has just done.(99.9% conviction rate)

It was today on JTV. They put to foreign visitor
s pack course. Officer will keep his job as usual, because this is Japan. If that person would be cached,would that "officer" say something? I doubt. Lucky day for foreigner and unlucky for J news. Yes, fingerprinting it must, We got next drug smuggler! Guilty through announcement in the press without official confirmation, then jail because this is what press and people wants. No investigation needed. Doctors (student of medicine) train surgery on real people too, what next Japan? You develop many "intelligent" robots who can take care of oldies, show the way, take care of kids... Its more and more scare to leave in this country. You get in jail for drugs you didn`t bring, for grabbing a girl in the train you never done either, for being foreigner etc.Posted in: Unsuspecting passenger returns cannabis after sniffer dog test botched at Narita

If you try you will be the one who will go to jail as foreigner-protector of own wife. I`m sorry, but there are stories where foreigner punched a guy who slapped his wife and he (foreigner) ended up apologizing and was ordered to pay 150,000 yen to Yak

Common! so there is no one to work? Yeah, if foreigner would kill Japanese they move they asses like ants but in own people cases they do nothing. If you work for Police, work and not seat in Koban. Today I saw 2 Policmen stopped on bicycle 3 Japanese young girls. No idea what they`ve done, I only saw Police writing down something, so it is not only us foreigners they hunt, but this is the only thing they know. Get your a:: and get job done!
