I had one as a child, but it didn't cost 58,000 yen. I made it out of half a broken world globe I was given using a pin and illuminated it with a torch inside
Must have been good though as it led to a Ph.D. in astrophysics.

It is a lot cheaper at the moment with some of the other European airlines and also a lot cheaper to fly in the opposite direction. This is just a stunt to rip of a few unwary Japanese.

Lots of sore Republican losers out there. That's the kind of bad attitude that just lost them power.

Hard to believe some of the posts here.
This is a small town in the boonies in Chiba-ken, not the bright lights of Tokyo.
I can't remember the last time I even saw a 'sidewalk' around here let alone walked on one. When you drive you have to expect pedestrians at the side of the road. Jeez.

I'll believe it when I see it. 99% of Japanese bosses couldn't live without their workers chained to their office desk.
[by the way - impressed with that executive riding his bike 'along a river'! At least it avoids the traffic ...]

Old Man McCaiin's big mistake was choosing an amateur like Palin as running mate. Grave error of judgement.

The Japanese mainstream media have almost no investigative instincts at all, very much a part of the "We Japanese" institutional establishment.
Posted in: The Japanese mainstream media do not have a well-developed 'watchman' ethic, because it colludes closely with those whom it should be watching and holding accountable. As a result, it is in no hurry to enable bloggers -- who in the U.S. have both 'watchman' and 'watching the watchmen' ethics -- by providing free content.

I guess that is why they live in rabbit hutches and work eighteen hours a day, a large slice of it unpaid overtime.

I don't suppose he has a mortgage on his Gloucestershire estate that is about to be foreclosed. In fact he has never known what it is to be 'short' in his life.

The trouble is that McCain has just banged on for ever about being a POW in a war that took place in the middle of the last century. Frankly, who cares? It is long since just history.
What people care about is the shambles thet deregulated markets have bought down on everyone's heads. That is REPUBLICAN deregulation.
