Big companies are keen on Indian workers because they are cheap. How do their salaries compare with the local average?

Well, I'm currently at eleven years of marriage and counting. The boy is nine years old. I don't see any reason why we shouldn't get to twenty years, or thirty years if I don't drop down dead in the meantime.

Remm Hibiya seems to be around Y10000 per night, which isn't exactly a budget hotel. I'd say Y5000 - Y8000 is budget range. Those Y3000 deals near Tokyo station might be per person, based on two sharing, or Y6000 for a single.

So the earlier LDP pledge was nothing more than a pack of lies intended to give the impression of change.

As for the "transparent" selection process, it's already quite transparent: if your dad was the previous MP then you will be the next candidate.

If Hatoyama wants the base moved out of Okinawa he should say where exactly he wants it moved to. If he has no idea, then he should keep quiet until he has made a decision. At the moment he just looks and sounds like a complete fool.

If anything is redundant it is the LDP. Comparing MPs to the Hitler youth is weird. I think Tanigaki was upset that DPJ MPs were applauding and supporting Hatoyama, whereas the previous LDP clown, Aso, was disliked by many LDP MPs.

If a "free trade" agreement only includes manufactured goods Japan will benefit disproportionately. Australia has little to gain from such an agreement.

With ANA, leaving from Haneda to Beijing on December 1st, returning on December 4th = Y63000. From Narita it's Y56000. This is the EcoWari ticket.

Not much price difference.
