  I have eaten lots of unusual food all over the world but I can't get excited about eating dog meat because I have had so many dogs as pets during my life. I think most Chinese and other Asian cultures (not Japan) don't have dogs as pets or have close…

  Sorry to hear of Rocky's demise. I remember going to Benihana in Manhattan, New York City when I was just 10 or 11 during the mid sixties and was blown away by the Japanese teppanyaki chefs and their antics at the table. I think this started my Japanophilia as well…

  Tick tock Tick Tock, sounds like captain hook is in trouble again. It looks like someone's pet got too big and they released it which is stupid because it now poses a serious danger to the general public or maybe to itself as crocodile tail meat is really good grilled.

  Looks like that guy had bad DNA and is in need of a mental realignment. When will this all stop? Pretty soon people are going to have their eggs implanted into dogs as a surrogate. I don't care if someone is gay, lesbian, transgender or bisexual but can you imagine…

  Japanese don't care how their English sounds or how well they can speak any foreign language, end of story.

  Caregivers is an interesting concept for registered aliens from the Philippines. When they were hostesses they were caregivers in another way and now the Japanese are finding better use for them.

  I am totally distraught at this decision by Mainichi to discontinue their Wai Wai section. That section gives me and millions of other hard core Japanophiles juicy tidbits of the other side of Japan to relish and wait for with baited breath each day. The perverted side of Japan has…

  Kato also expressed his desire for a partner, which he apparently believed would never be fulfilled. ‘‘I’ve heard that you can only have a chance at having a romance until you’re 25 but I’ve passed that age. Admittedly, ugly guys do not have the right to enjoy any romance.

  Why would a company try something so foolish as to use underage workers for such a high profile job as inspection at a Nuclear power facility? It is scary that Japanese nuclear facilities have such poor inspection of back ground checks on the people who can enter restricted space. Japanese…

  Yes, I think that to be called a Gaijin is wrong and racist. The correct term is Gai kokujin. Japanese do not understand how rude they can be when addressing foreigners as gaijin and if they do so knowing well what they are saying, they do it with no respect…
