What you can do with Jetstar is to buy the outward and return tickets separately, avoiding the surcharge on the Australia to Japan flight. Select "Australia" as your location to do this. But you still get directed to a Japanese page when buying the ticket from Japan to Australia.

It's not kidnapping at all: the US has every right to put this guy on trial for piracy, extortion, hostage taking etc. He should think himself lucky he wasn't shot like his mates. Besides, a lifetime in a US jail is better than a life in the cesspit that is Somalia.

How about bombing and sinking all the ships and boats in ports used by pirates? If the pirates move to another port, sink all the ships in that port too.

I wouldn't class begging as a virtue: it is scrounging off of the labour of others. Somebody has to produce the food we eat, and why should they give it away to those who choose to do nothing?
That said, I also find excessive consumption rather distasteful. Why do people borrow money to buy unnecessary tat? The key to happiness is, as Mr Micawber pointed out, to live within your means.

For Japanese men, a week is seen as a long holiday. Here we have a 41 year old man taking a whole month to travel around India. How many middle-aged Japanese men do you know who have done that?
Even our students, who have a free month between finishing their exams and starting work, rarely go anywhere or do anything with the longest amount of free time they will have until retirement.
The customs guy was right to be suspicious.

Australia to Japan is pretty cheap and there doesn't seem to be a fuel surcharge if you book on the Australian web site.

Given the atrocious rubbish turned out at vast expense by the previous, nationalised British car industry, I'd say that nationalisation is the last thing that's needed.

That PC in the picture sells for Y50000, so Y5544 for a bit of film to stick on the screen seems a bit much. Instead, why not get a sheet and use it to make a kind of tent, covering your head, upper body and the computer? This has the added advantage of preventing people behind you from seeing what you are up to.

I doubt there would be any savings from a stupid measure like this. Sales of their over-priced drinks would fall and I'm sure some people would urinate over the floor/seats/door rather than pay. Result: lower revenue, increased cleaning costs. If you treat people like animals, don't be surprised if they start to behave like them.
Mr O'Leary won't be so smug when his planes are grounded due to urine-induced corrosion of the airframes.

You may as well accept the money since you will have to pay it back (with interest) through higher taxes in the future.

If you have a Japanese passport then you are Japanese. The passport doesn't say "Half-Japanese" and you don't have half a vote, therefore you are not a "half".
Instead of answering intrusive questions, maybe you could ask these ignorant people when their family moved over from Korea. Or just ignore them.

Tamaki said "he would take care of Ishihara forever".
That sounds ominous. I wonder how long it will be before he starts dishing out the beats again.
