Japan’s people still are among the world’s richest, with a per capita income of $37,800 last year, compared with China’s $3,600.
...China overtakes Japan
Really? lots og the Japanese i know don't seem very rich. Live in shoebox, eat from conbini, take no holidays or rubbish cheap ones if they are allowed to. seems huge wealth disparity in Japan too.

She will always be a -chan! love the outfit (J-penchant for uniforms and outfits always endearing). And good luck with the Slyme-ball. hope she isn't a secret drug user - would ruin the fairytale.

Child abuse is a worldwide phenomenon - stiffer sentences, child abuser registers and all the rest are still not working there, so not sure how they will work here.

White jeans are ok. Jackie is ok, although can be a bit of a buffoon on screen. young Smith will go far indeed. His parents are one of the good Hollywood couples (hope that isn't famous last words). don't really think will cares if we plebs think he has style issues.....

bondage is indeed a fetish, but the Japanese obsession with it is unusual. and leads to lots of weird behaviour in day to day life.

Why does the writer think that having a Japanese wife is "obligatory". I don't have one - yet. And if I ever do, will be because she is fun to be with, nice looking and an asset to my life - pretty much like of she was a non-Japanese woman. Seems to me Trenton is a kind of Charisma Man in real life.

Is she related to the famous Mao (Ze Dong)? She looks like she could be his daughter.

Depends on what you mean by restaurant. High end restaurants in Japan are among the best in the world for food and service and design. Personally i don't think of MacD's (or similar)as a "restaurant" nor the counter staff as waiters or waitresses. Frankly even Jonathan's and the like just make it a restaurants - expecting waiting staff there to be excellent and friendly when they get no tip and your entire meal cost in the region of 1,000 yen is a bit too demanding. As for the debate around noise and ordering and cost, that's how things are in Izakaya and similar - if you don't like, splash out and go to more classy joints.
