When I went to Washington DC 2 weeks ago they had Playboy Bunnies do this job, and they were wearing real sexy bikinis... they really know how to play the game over there on Capitol Hill. http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=peta+washington+july&gbv=2&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

this is the kind of thing you see on the train every weeken night. it speaks volumes for the state of fashion in Japan. The old-schools have way too much influence. They should have taken the top off as well and the haters would not have any say in anything.

great article. Most times even legal aliens feel like they will be deported.
Japan needs to focus on immigration as a way to increase productivity in all areas.
Immigrants which are refugees are mostly a good demographic group to bring, because they are (normally) very grateful and as a result work hard. They also know what real hardship is, so they keep on trucking, when locals may feel like they are hitting a rough patch.

To really think about this, $1,000 or $2,000 is not that much for a guy with cash and no social skills, which only alternative may be to blow the same amount or even more in hostess bars. In that case, the guy knows he has no chance anyway.

I'm sure they spend 3 months only to pick a snazzy Japanese title, which usually is a shortening of the title to something meaningless.

Violations of NK airspace by spy planes can only make things worse. With satellites pretty much the same intel can be obtained. I guess they WANT an excuse to fight.
I dont agree that Japan is the most high-tech military in the world. They may have some cool toys, but these are not battle proven as the US has been doing for the last 20 years. In the US easily more than 50% of R&D is defense related, in Japan most R&D is used to develop lifelike dolls...

Citibank is too much of a hassle to operate in Japan. Specifically beacause all of the hoops they make you jump.
The other day i went to close my account and they wouldnt even let me do that.
The retail branches do not have any commercial banking. They mention a "corporate division" but i wanted to open an account for my company, and they said they couldn't help me.
I have a Citicard from the USA, and went to one of the Citi branches (where I have an account) to do a cash advance with my US Passport (something I can do in any bank in China or other countries abroad) but they looked at me like I was a space alien.
terrible, terrible. Opened an account with Mitsubishi, and i can do a lot more things, less of a hassle, and cheap. The only prob is no banks in Japan have English documentation or websites.
