In Japan the value of your life is the value to the State/Economy. Your purpose is to spend all your money on inflated prices, therefore keeping the rich rich. In Japan the most expensive is the best.
Posted in: If we all got used to spending just 250 yen for every meal, then meals priced respectably will soon become too expensive. When you buy something cheap, you lower the value of your own life.

good point Orchid64. In my experience the majority of students were looking for the experience you describe. Only a minority were serious about language learning.

"That's wrong. Japan is actually far ahead of most other developed nations in terms of enironmental issues, recycling and eco-friendly technology." Spoken like someone who can't distinguish fact from fantasy. Have you ever actually lived in Japan?

I agree with Cantor. While most people have already taken sides, this event makes it one step closer to Japan having to pull out.

Seems like there are quite a few of us in the same boat.... with J-wives who watch this crap. I can get no sensible answer from my wife why she needs to watch so much of this stuff. Anyone got a clue what the attraction is?

I was in Europe last year. I never bought up the topic of whaling, but often when people found out I lived in Japan they brought up the topic. Overall I would say that most peoples reaction was that they felt their intelligence was being insulted by the Japanese claims of research. Of course one only has to turn on the TV in Japan or visit a Japanese school to know that having your intelligence insulted is par for the course in japan, but apparently many non-Japanese don't like it. The second cause of anger was that the whaling was going on in the antarctic. Japan hunts whales near its own waters and there is no international outcry or campaign to stop it.

I agree with Disillusioned...... my bet is there are a lot of Japanese heads nodding in agreement with him. Japanese are naturally the best at everything, and its only cheating by foreigners that stops Japan winning at everything.

Posted in: In August, the International Olympic Committee will pick two sports from softball, baseball, golf, karate, roller sports, rugby sevens and squash, to be voted on for inclusion in the Olympic Games. Which two would you like to see in the Games and why?
