sabiwabi: And on what are you basing your opininions? I've got loads of friends who teach at universities in Japan and they've said quite the opposite. Attendance is rather miserable and it's difficult to reprimand the students or fail them, even at the better universities due to the way universities…

Bags poking in my ribs whilst on the train especially when the girls holding them refuse to use the overhead racks.

People leaning on me whilst on the train like I'm some kind of damn post.

People who fall asleep and tip a bit too much towards me whilst on…

he carried her body on foot to the dumping site, which is located some 100 meters from the condominium

Did he do that in the daytime and if so I'd seriously like to know how he did that without anyone seeing. 100 meters in most places in Tokyo and Chiba…

Cleo: You may be right about the rates of infanticide being about the same here as most places but it's hard to say that with any certainty since Japan has one of the lowest rates of autopsy in the industrialized world.

I meant police getting their damn bicycles off of the pavement since it sets a terrible example and is actually illegal in most cases.

flammenwerfer: If it were only the really narrow roads I were talking about I'd completely agree with you but sadly it's nearly all roads without pavement. It's the same with the bicyclists who ride right into traffic and are too stupid to realize that if they turn they'll turn straight…

flammenwerfer: I agree with you about the woman being stupid but am slightly more dubious about 12 and 13 year olds being aware of the dangers of the road as pedestrians. Where would they have learned the dangers? Every morning I see groups of kids walking to school on narrow…
