    Sounds like a fun tourist attraction for anyone who doesn't know / care about actual ninjutsu. I wonder if the ninja-theme-park will take off at all, or once the novelty wears off (within a year maybe) it will just fade away?

    just wanted to point out, those are my FREE (or very close to free) hobbies.

    exercise, mediation/breathing, reading (books, not manga/magazines), getting more involved/active in your community (as tkoind2 mentioned).

    these are all things anyone in any country country can do for little to no money. all of which (except for that last one, shame on me) I do and find very rewarding.

    The model in the front looks rather ominous... I actually find this "fashion" to be kind of interesting, at least in this tightly cropped shot -- though, not sure how they look in full pose from a distance.

    the kind that makes you exercise more... seriously, try depleting more energy physically instead of mentally and you'll be sleeping much better. alcohol doesn't hurt either...

    I feel sorry for whoever had to place all the crystals on it by hand -- I wonder how many fall off every time that thing gets moved...?

    Not that I have any particular interest in Taiji, but I guess now as a Gaijin I won't ever be welcome there. On a side note, there's a scene in the documentary that explains, "...the Taiji dolphin show is the only place where you can watch dolphins perform while eating them at the same time..." I just find that part sooo ironically intriguing that I can't help but remember it every time this place gets mentioned.

    I really can't add much more to this conversation, but thank you all for your input and stories -- I've read everyone of them.

    Though I will say that making it through hardships with someone (anyone) is a great way for making long lasting friendsships, but even those require nurturing...

    Maybe it's just me, but his jacket looks way too big...

    I'm surprised there isn't a separate division to handle the lesser emergency calls -- a community "helper" division or something similar... perhaps there should be?

    Milk doesn't naturally last that long, so i wonder what the expiration date is on these drinks? Anyone tried it yet? Even though I'm lactose intolerant, I am curious to know what it taste like (as I can't imagine it tasting all that great).

    they probably named it "iQ" because of their competitor the "SMART" car -- then at some point decided to come up with a list of words that might possibly justify it as original...

    anyways, these 3 cylinder micro-machines, get about the same gas mileage as other cars out on the market, only they are much smaller. If you ever drive/own one, you better hope you never have to drive up-hill.

    so since they arrested him (for only up to 3 months) are they going to empty his trash as well, or simply leave it up to him and the honor system.

    hopefully they take a bull-dozer / tractor of some sort and a large trash truck (or two) and just pile everything in there and take it to a hidden trash depot.

    i wonder if collecting items / trash is not only this old man's favorite pass-time, but his life as well?

    i would be very interested in seeing this -- though i wonder how they compare to the original, or even the movie for that matter?

    more people might be inclined toward them if they weren't labeled diapers perhaps -- anyone know if the same word in japanese is used for a babies' diaper as well as an elderly person's?

    not that any of the skinny models are unattractive, but even if hiroko's chest was much less prominent, i would still pick her over the others -- but i will say this, she feels more like a model you would see at a dance club rather than a model you would see at a fashion show (which these other girls seem to be).

    looks like fun -- though i wonder if you can feel the roughness of the rock(s) as you slide down?

    romulus3,

    what does putting a computer in an open room have to do with being computer savy? perhaps using the internal modem (if it had one) might fall into that realm, but otherwise, I would just assume that to be common sense.

    i wonder how the relationship between the mother and the son is going to play out from this point -- i bet she had other episodes before this incident, so their relationship probably wasn't too solid to begin with.

    i mean seriously though, if i was an enraged, possibly crazed parent, i would just grab the computer and break it to pieces...

    i'm surprised he wasn't playing World of Warcraft or it's japanese equivalent -- maybe he was just got caught up in some intensive research for a school related project >_>

    as a way to limit his usage, she should just put the computer in the "family room" or somewhere out in the open so he loses his privacy while using it. Also, assuming the computer had internet, she should just use a regular old modem (without call waiting), nothing more frustrating than a slow internet connection that gets interrupted (possibly the best deterrent for prolonged usage).
