Its funny how when it is a non-western country doing these type of things are a custom or practice. However when its in a western country, its not described this way.
Pouring water does make it cooler though. And its OK if there is enough water around.

Good on Arnie. He must be repenting all those years spent in movies blowing up stuff and contributing to the whole greenhouse thing. But one Arinie side on this. Hope he gets Bush.......that man has done more to screw up the earth than anyone......

People losing respect for teachers was bound to happen in Japan, all the news about bribery, sex scandals, kids dropping through roofs and on top of this, when these things do happen, teachers take minimal action. They bow so many times that it doesn't mean anything anymore. They take pay cuts that don't really hurt, they get dismissed but are rehired again! DOn't get me wrong there are great teachers out there but they are overshadowed by the bad ones. They should if not already have some way of getting rid of these bad ones and bring back some dignity to the profession.
Same with the good and bad kids, and good and bad parents. However the only one that the government can more immediately improve is probably the school since I hope they have some control over them.

I just wished people, governments would stop rasing awareness and really go about putting and subsidizing real eco-friendly things that really reduce the eco-footprint once all things are considered.

Not very green probably. Probably spent more trying to look green! Much like that stupid global warming concert think a while back which definitely was not green. Imagine all the pollution caused by all the concerts, trash, people travelling there, the advertising, the media thing.....raised awareness which I bet many have now forgot.

I wish the route was operated by Singapore airlines or something. Thai Airways have a habit of giving bad service and also being delayed. Either that or replace all their air hostesses with Japanese, Singaporean or Malaysian ones. I flew them 4 international flights in a row within a space of 1 week:
Delayed over 30min: 3 out of 4 flights Delayed over 1hr: 2 out of 4 flights Delay because passengers had to WAIT FOR THE AIRCREW!: 1 out of 4 flights Rudeness: All flights Air hostess with Attitudes: All flights Run out of meals: 2 out of 4 flights
And they charge as high as JAL and ANA or more.
All this from a person who loves Thailand and only wishes their airline could better represent the country!

If people choose to wear short skirts, then expect to be peeped. However shouldn't the government change the school uniform or something!
But this guy seems to be the real deal, standing there for a while and actually making an elongated attempt at peeping.

if its not effected by the bean price increase, why are they increasing the price of beans! More reason not to buy Starbucks. If McD's come out with decent latte or capuccino then bye bye starbucks and other overpriced coffee joints.

Brilliant! 3 day work week would be even betterHowever wouldn't this only save energy for government buildings. The people with the holiday would just be out of the office and using energy in other activities.
But what a great idea. They should implement this in japan, but I think people would not have a clue what to do if they had freetime.

Isn't this the hotel Hilton got from Prince and rebranded. A welcome change I suppose, but Hilton are well known for being the "5 Star Hotel" with a 4 star feel. Hope they don't overprice just because of the name, otherwise rather have the Prince back. Amittedly it won't be difficult to top the Prince Hotel before it.
