It's not bad looking, but quite expensive to go up. I'd rather go up the Sky Building in Osaka.

Big deal! What authority gives her that title? What gives that authority the knowledge of knowing what a best mother is?

I've noticed that there is so much suicidal scenes on TV; a lot more so then when I was in the U.S. I've also noticed that this suicidal practice stems back from medieval times. If things go bad for me or if I didn't get into the right school, I as sure as hell am not going to top myself over it. Stuff all Japanese parents who force their kids to study like no tomorrow. Let them enjoy their childhood and make their own mistakes. That's probably why there's a lot of shy folks out there.

There are definitely A LOT of stereotypes with this article. I really don't feel that I should be a certain way because I married my wife who is Japanese, nor do I expect her to act a certain way neither. I definitely can care less about the celebrities and their marriages. Celebrity and talento news for me is just "smoke screen news," especially those nerdy looking news reporters and nerdy looking talentos, who think they're cool, which they are not!

Dog: You forgot to mention that the women here are dependent (and live with their parents) until they get married. Then they usually depend on someone else for success. I have a neighbor who is in her late 40s who is not married and is STILL living with her parents. What's the word for people like that "Mental Hermits?"

They're a bunch of airheads that have been over marketed, like the Spice Girls. Can care less about them.

Why would I? They're a bunch of air heads. I wouldn't want my kids to turn out that way.

Big deal! It will go back down to 76 yen again. The government has done this many times in the past.

I don't care what Japanese custom/culture dictates. If I were a woman being groped, where I come from, you beat the guy senseless! Even if he says "Yamete!" You fight until he's out or the police drag his ugly perverted **s from the train. Like East L.A. gangsta style!

I quote former Gambino crime boss John Gotti, "We dealt with problems our own way. We didn't rat. We busted their heads." "You never take a step back. You fight until you can't fight no more."

I don't feel it's much safer than 2001. It just seems more like "Big Brother" and George F. Bush is watching over your shoulder. Kind of like the Stazi in the former East Germany.

I agree with Tokyoz on this. We usually travel on the Asian airlines. They are far better and they don't nickel and dime you for everything like the U.S. airlines. The seats and movie selections are much better, too. Cute and not so big cabin attendants, too.

There were a lot of indescrepencies to this. Notice that Condelisa (sorry for the spelling) Rice sent Willie Brown, the Mayor of San Francisco a memo not to board his flight that hit the World Trade Center. Another was that the CIA took the cameras near the Pentagon, where the 757 supposedly it and insurances was taken out on the World Trade Center, days before the incident. Another was that millions of volumes of stock on Boeing, United, and American, were short on 9/11. Al Qaida did it? Not sure only if they were backed up by George F. Bush.
