all good points and if followed would make flying easier. however people are not the same and don't follow rules (or even common sense). So flying will always be a bit painful. The standing on travelators/escalators gets me. note that is not standing to one side but always have groups of cattle blocking up the whole ride. Question - this article weasn't written for a Japanese readership alone?
Moderator: The article applies to anyone who has ever flown in a plane.

@majimeaussie Since when are "miniskirt police" a girl band?
They are a glomour group. good at it too. The girl bands music is just bubblegum, but some of them are easy on the eye. Lolikon indeed.

They will get stalked. Probably it will make money (at least to start) but don't think it will be a big hit like in the US....

People here do not care about broader populace so bins just get abused to throw away household rubbish. so taken away. Don't blame AUM - if they were to blame they would have closed down the Metro.

Compared ton where? Go to London and there are no garbage bins (a legacy of the IRA bombing campaign).

B of A should forgo profit for the next 3 years and write these debts off. That will teach future generations a useful lesson about thrift and meeting their obligations.....

why are they "so=-called Jews"? surely they are definitely Jews. May be "so called Israelis'...... likely there is no chance for peace - who knows, maybe Revelation was right all along and Armageddon will start in the middle East..

Palestine will never make a succesful stand alone state. But for the sake of peace let them try.

Alcatraz. Also any number of OL and schoolgirl themed ones - not weird per se but shows the stuff that J men love.

Tale of Genji my a***. Just because it was used to write (a frankly pretty ordinary) book a long time ago, doesn't make Japanese somehow elegant or clever. Lots of Japanese names for things are puerile and nonsensical, so kanji is not the reason.

J dudes - you have to love them. These seem like pretty minor gripes, but show exactly how geeky/immature our hosts are.

He's a Persian, traditional enemy of the Arabs. Enemy of my enemy is my friend and some stupid religious link (althoough Sunnis hate Shias too) putting these together. As for taunting Israel, that has a long history of yielding results.

Leave smokers alone. They have already been marginalised for a habit that is legal and raises tons of revenue for the govt. You smoking nazis should realise that your whiny kids/bad driving/poor pavement etiquette are just as annoying.
