  It would mean not having to transfer at Chicago or NY. On the other hand, what's the Japanese population in Boston like now?

  What happened to the DS-3D? I guess it wasn't so good. Did any JT readers get one? If so, what do you think of it?

  I played with one a few months ago. There's a 3D slider that let's you choose how 3D you want it (how "deep") which I found pretty interesting. However I could see myself getting headaches after prolonged use, and I'm guessing pre-3D games only work in 2D?

  I'm GLAD the Japanese aren't religious fanatics like back home. Living in Japan means not having religious zealots accost me on a daily basis like back in the US.

  An equity strategist at a Japanese brokerage said foreign investors likely drove the selling.

  So they're blaming the foreigners?

  It must be hell to be married to someone untrustworthy.

  It is. Imagine your significant other going through your things while you sleep.

  If these gentlemen have spouses like that, I salute their craftiness and admire their thrift.

  First of all, if these natural disasters were really "divine punishment" then why are these useless politicians still alive?

  Second, isn't Italy wooing foreign countries to try and keep from going bankrupt? I don't think this is the best way of doing it.

  Pipe Dream. We are totally not going to see this.

  Some of us did see this a few years ago with Connexion by Boeing. The plug was pulled because it was too expensive and there wasn't enough demand. What I'm wondering is how long this new service will last?

  That was a really stupid thing to do. They didn't have 200 yen for the bus? One goes from Sakae to right near the airport/base. As CrazyJoe said, they could have also walked - it's doable.

  Also Sakae is not a "ku". Sakae is in Naka-ku.
