Why only Tokyo? Overseas tourists like to visit places like Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Nara etc., why hasn't this permeated through those Tokyocentric skulls? If Japan is serious about promoting tourism they have to get out of this 'Tokyo is Japan' mindset.

Sushisake3. Getting PR is not as easy as you make it sound. I know some that have got it after three years, some longer - one had to wait seven years before she got it. I have been turned down.

We went to Matsue and Izumo last month, it was lovely. We found a nice restaurant near our hotel. The winery was a disappointment, it all tasted like undiluted Ribena.

I agree with frontandcentre. I take some comfort in the fact that the BNP's share of the vote was less than it was in 2004. Voters for other parties, especially Labour, just stayed at home, only the right wing nutters came out last Thursday. I'm ashamed to be British.

I cried when I saw this story on the news. Samuel seemed like a very happy and very loved boy. Unbearable.

A mental health unit is one of the few places in the UK where it's impossible to be bothered by the media. A wise move.

When did the author of that piece last drive in the UK? All but point 8 of his whine could also be written about the UK.
