    No matter how you cut it, this kind of behavior doesn't do any good for the image of foreigners in Japan.

    Another talking in absolutes. It depends who you talk to. Gramps or already-agitated over there is going to whinge about it sure. Try asking many of the millions stuck in the grey monotone every day. They've seen obnoxious employees and girls vomiting on the train before.

    ...I left my home country to escape from!

    Funny you should use those words.

    So then Lieutenant, I assume you feel it's ok to play up the cliche of the boorish foreigner in Japan, or anywhere else for that matter?

    Enjoy your crusade against it. You'll be defeated by the next planeload of foreigners anyway.

    "Obama has always held the lead among voters"

    Yes those too.

    But now, back to college. Chug, chug, chug.

    Does being 23 or 24 allow you to make an ass out of yourself, or have no common sense, as opposed to 29 or 30?

    It makes it easier yes.

    "when I did it all the Japanese on the train were having a wonderful time and even joining us!" What we remember with our beer-goggles on and reality isn't always the same.

    And thus it didn't happen.

    I happened to be on the Yamanote line 2 years ago and witnessed pure annoyance and embarrassment by virtually ALL Japanese, who either shuffled off to another carriage or silently tolerated the boorish drunken behavior of several foreigners.

    You should have said all Japanese in that particular carriage that you happened to be boring on. And I hope you asked those in silence if that is how they behave on every train.

    And for all your tough talk now, I bet you yourself at the time said, wait for it, nothing.

    I haven't participated in the Yamanote line parte and I don't condone it this morning, but think twice before you throw that virtual anonymous stone about how, in different ways, you enjoy the absence of factors that bind you in your country of birth, or at least think back to your first years here before you got all serious and boring.

    This is no big news - Obama has always held the lead among college-age voters.

    Chug, vote, chug.

    The underdog McCain is pressing supporters to fight on: “Nothing is inevitable here. We never give up. And we never quit.”

    Nice, short soundbytes. Wouldn't want the message going over your supporter's heads.

    It's all a bit much for you isn't it. How about another game of go or shogi in the basement?

    What can be done about it? I'm going to shrug my shoulders. Maybe someone else will deal with it. I've got enough confrontation in my life as it is.

    I'll take two Cokes and one Aquarius. And one Soken Bicha, so I can grow up looking like a woman.

    I think it should be mentioned, that Yoki Mori, 23, is unemployed.

    That is all.

    Lieutenant: if they do that to Prince Charles and Camilla...they have to do the same to all other State Visitors too...right?..:)

    Not necessarily. Japanese culture is a vast, colourful tapestry. Alternatives to the above tour include (but are not limited to) a conversation with any number of the local politicians about, well anything; oogling over some nudy mags in Family Mart and then paying several times the global market price for a rice ball; and going on a bicycle ride past a poice box before finally heading to Shibuya and introducing Harry to the junior high school girls.

    ...and what's wrong with the J people showing their culture to their Brit guests?

    Nothing. I hope they do a thorough job of it too, and take the Prince and Duchess on a morning rush hour train, visit a Japanese mansion or two during the day, sit around for a few hours in an office in the evening, and visit K city in a certain prefecture at night.

    “I’m not afraid of the fight, I’m ready for it,” “Nothing is inevitable, we never give up,” “Let’s go win this election and get this country moving again.”“My friends, we’re winning in Iraq.”

    Why is everything that comes out of McCain's mouth so simple?.......oh, his supporters.

    I care not for the Prince nor the Duchess, but the Japanese chick to her left looks most fascinated. Note to self: learn kendo to impress well-to-do Japanese chicks.

    Bizarre case.

    糸口が見つかったのは25日。パトロール中の警察官が、昨年6月に茨城町のガソリンスタンドで発生した給油詐欺事件の容疑者として、水戸市内のパチンコ店の駐車場にいた男を逮捕。この男、大平容疑者の名前が、佐藤さん宅への出入り業者として捜査対象者のリストにあったことから、指紋を採取、殺害現場に残されていた指紋と一致した。

    Donuts on patrol arrested a man on Saturday for a non-payment of gasoline and drive-off which happened in June last year. This man was Ohira, who was on the cop's list of people known to have entered Noriko's premises. So they took his prints, and they matched those found at the crime scene. Fragments of his clothes were also found (sic).

    Ohira did work for Noriko last year, and is reported to have known that she lived by herself during the week.

    Apparently he had only several thousand yen on his person at the time of his arrest. Maybe he did it to get shelter and a bed.
