It doesn't seem too suspicious for the father to have rushed home after learning his son had a horrible accident. If it were my child, I'd be heading home like a bat out of hell to see what happened. I think any parent would.

What I do wonder is, did…

This really does sound incredibly suspicious. If it were indeed an accident, okay then,wow! what a freak accident. But the kid fell 9 floors only a little over a month ago. WTH is going on in this household?

I hope she wasn't as pissy and sarcastic as she was at Summer Sonic last year in Osaka. That was simply bizarre. She almost seemed drunk at that show.

This conversation's gone all over the place here, which is good, I think, for a fuller discussion, but returning to the main topic, I can count off the top of my head six foreigner-foreigner couples that met and developed successful, healthy, long-term relationships while here in Japan in the last…
