On a daily basis the truly annoying thing here in Tokyo is the people who somehow think they'll get off before me when I'm standing in front of them, right in front of or orientated towards the doors. It is obvious I'm getting off too but sometimes even before the…

Seems rather logical - not a penalty at all but a reward to encourage you to bring others over to Softbank. This is why all three networks announce themselves in one way or another to the caller. Many companies have ways of encouraging current customers to intro others via discounts…

Sorry but one scumbag Nigerian spontaneously murdering a taxi driver does mean that there needs to be "positive procedures to maintain law and order" before the GW arrives. This was a rare event.

Seems like the same people, doing the same stuff ad nauseum. "Oishii!" "Sugoi" Only watch local TV for weather and Karakuri TV. Been subscribing to Skyperfect for the past few years. For less than the cost of two movie tickets you gain access to a decent selection of overseas programming,…
