  Vending machines also take bank notes in Japan, and the bank does not charge 17% or what.

  How about a free trading area? Everyone has access and the people currently living there get some business and maybe more (from both nations) want to move there?

  As gasoline and imported goods become more expensive this year, I will increase the prices of my tourism related business next year, who cares if people can spend more if the services and products also costs more at the same.

  Wonder what's happen next, if another incident like Fukushima is happen, and later they find out guidelines have been bent or not been used - as standards would have to.

  @ GW,

  It's very easy in Japan to get fired, I had only 2 days off a month and got sick on my second day off (fewer 40C+) and my wife called in the next morning that I can't come in - fired on the telephone.

  Do you think the labor office was going to help me???? NOT!

  Now have my own company and it's running great!

  So I would everyone tell to cheer up and try to realize there own dream.

  In the end politicians make a lot of talk, talking around the actual subject especially in Japan where there is not a lot of direct conversation as by culture, but in the end they always fall on there knees to accommodate the request of the big brother USA - which would be a good thing in this case, in my opinion.

  They can't join the talk because it would give a lot of publicity to the entire thing, rather make a backdoor deal which is less great but not as "loud"

  Japan will join, not yet, but in future. Worst case would be - Abe has to step down, he has to so anyway at some point. Also the rural voters have nobody else to act in there interest but the LDP - unfortunately.

  I think the problem with pollution will get less as China increases the minimum salary one has to be paid. It's only an attractive business in PRC for foreign company's because nobody gives a rats ass - at this moment

  I wonder if they dropped something, with there eyes glued on the ground!

  I sense an inability of looking straight into someones eyes and make an honest conversation/statement.

  Leaders of the third biggest industry power of the world?? To me they look more like a bunch of cowards!

  Okinawa's tourist agency (OCVB), lacks motivation, common sense and the eye on how to really promote Okinawa. After all, we are lucky to not have an image like Thailand yet - Don't want the sex-tourism image here. But maybe this guys only think from 12 to noon! Firsthand experience as someone running a tourist related business here.

  I would also quit if I where in the same position as these teachers. Fortunately I'm not, and I'm still considered young - probably 2 generations until I reach retirement age, I invest my money in property and other things but not in a government retirement-ripoff-fund, as in 40 years I probably wont get much out of it anyway. Not supporting the system. People probably tell me this is reckless or even stupid, but I think that this system only exists since the end of the war, before that people also lived without such "assurances" and some did well and some not, just like today.

  Apparently not ashamed to say that they are produced in China and than sold for almost 3000yen a pair here in Japan, if you produce them here in Japan than I would gladly buy them (again) for the money considering that the cost of producing this is maybe 5yen/pair or less!

  I loved crocs but I now but cheap and long lasting less slippery shoes.

  I walked around pretty much everyday with them after heavy usage the material on the sole became very slippery especially when it was raining so I had a few close calls while carrying heavy stuff crossing a street (scuba gear)

  The people in this country sadly don't give 2 sh**s about, as long as they are not affected them self, if the people not affected would press the government to get a move on they might completed some units earlier - citizens of Japan allow the government and it's big CEO's to be slow and pocket all the cash, media gives a short outcry and tomorrow it's forgotten. Same about the bases in Okinawa, it's far from mainland so who -except Okinawan's- cares??

  Sad destiny!
