How do you know they are going to get married ?
Half of my students in university have a ring but none (of course) are married.
Like to get married in a church, shopping for rings when you have a boyfriend -girlfriend- is a show off.

I think Japan is a country of "ijime" at all level of the society...and its another case of it.
I think its a shame.

You are always very clear and very wrong...always.
I have been in Tokyo for 35 years and my camera was not bought in a duty free shop because as a permanent resident i cant buy things in Japan in that kind of shop...(thats for tourist if i have to explain everything)
Secondly and thats your second mistake, my japanese model has english menu AND japanese one, too.
Understood ?

...and it will cost less !
jeancolmar, i was going to ask the same question to ebisen : for comparable camera, Panasonic-with no english menu- never offer camera 25% cheaper than the other-with english menu-Japanese maker.

I dont know where in Japan you are speaking about but there is usually no tips for waiter, waitress and they are paid from 850 to 1500 yens an hour, depending the place and hours. (morning or evening, night)

In France, tipping is not the system since in restaurants and coffee shop the tip is now always included...so you dont have to tip once more !
In taxi, do as you want but they expect a tip !

One way "intra-office romance" is sexual harassment.
He didnt or he did try rape...we dont know.
"She" is not trying to punish him, society will punish him.
"cries-baby"...?
"nonsense"...?
Are you sane ?
