Interesting. I quite feel for those people. Japanese "love standards" are as weird as those himote people standars.

The popular J-men men have to be a grey, unfunny, depressed accountant who must provide and supply money to braindead Louis Vuitton maniacs. Those himote at least decide to be happy and…

I love travelling, but I am afraid of flights. I abslutely have to relax, so what I hate the most in any airports in the World is when the bartender gives me a wild-wild west look and ask me to leave after my tenth pint.

Cars are not the only industry that represents Japan, but the one which best reflects Japanese society...

Japanese cars are affordable, convenient...and? I don't see what this nihonjinron stance means.

The media is harrassing this lady, but this Nyoka guy kissed his wife and kids with the same mouth he kissed Yamamoto.

The japanese male is allowed to cheat and has carte blanche in anything related to relationship and sex.

I remember when the enjoy kosai…

Someone should create a manga based on Max Weber's "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism", that shouls enlighten Mr. Aso at his own pathetic level.

I remember asking twice why japanese companies usually displayed open-plan offices; I was answered (in both cases), that workers would sleep if they…

And saying that women took an active part in the student movement is NOT true. They were allowed to demonstrate with some male escorts, but usually didn't take any part in it and were preparing the bento. On the other hand, the terrorists groups in the 70 (especially Sekigun), had…

The student movements in US and Europe brought a whole lot of new ideas and reforms. It brought some change and allowed society to get a bit more free. Nothing of this happened in Japan. The japanese student movement was a gray, violent and ultra-nationalistic movement. Those students didn't fight…
