"missing since Monday....said Tuesday..."

So "missing" for less than a day? Gimme a break.

"...self-claimed professional surfer..."

What does THAT mean?

I support the bombings. My father was 18 and serving in the army in Europe in 1945.　If Japan had continued the war, he would have been deployed for Operation Coronet, and if he bought it there, me and my entire immediate family and the family line would never have existed.…

It'd be interested to see how the Japanese authors did their "research." Did they travel around interviewing bankers and analysts in places like New York and Zurich, I wonder?

Why was she identified but not him? Both are politicians (public figures), and he is the one who's married, after all.

Ah, Tokyo. Where the summers are hotter than Bangkok and winters colder than Canada.

"...back to his hotel room where he tried unsuccessfully to woo the woman." - Sounds like attempted rape, not sexual harassment.

"...refused to provide details in consideration of the victim." - Concealing or downplaying sexual harassment or rape is always the wise choice.

The vast majority of Japanese people support the death penalty. Until that changes, get used to it. As combini bento said, this is Asia. It sure as hell ain't Canada, where I come from.

The Monocle metric takes account of...international flight connections.

That's interesting, since there is no full fledged international airport in either Tokyo or Yokohama - whose combined population equals Canada's.

Narita is located in the rice fields of Chiba Prefecture, 70 clicks away from the two cities. What's more, Narita's limited…

Sometimes at Narita, it takes nearly a hour for my plane to taxi and then be cleared for take off, which seems ridiculous. I always wondered why and now I know, I guess.

Also, a M-shaped taxiway? Now that's bizarre. Every day in Japan, it seems you find out some…
