chibaman - How's this: My fellow Americans have given billions to Egypt, Ethiopia, Liberia, Rwanda, Somalia... speaking of Somalia, American soldiers have spilled their blood trying to help those people over there...

Fine.

chibaman - When talking about your fellow countrymen, people often use "we." Didn't you know that?

So your answer is zero? How about going over instead of waxing lyrical on these pages and taking credit (if there is any to be taken) for something other people are doing? Or now…

Ha ha! Typical Japanese protectionism! When you can't compete with the outside, throw up some barriers! Never mind what the individual would like to do with their lives. Pathetic. Weak.

Hey wait a second? Aggressive efforts to restore tatami? Maybe if they just settled down and stopped being so heavy-handed about it they wouldn't have gotten themselves into this mess in the first place.

the ongoing back-to-Japanese style boom

Good luck with that. "Japan's steady Westernization" shows what most people…

Tatami is all well and good, just don't bash it to let the people in the floor below know they're making too much noise, cos you'll wreck the mats, and then regret you ever came to Japan.

You can do it Kei. The hopes of a nation ride on your success. Please help alleviate our battered psyche. And learn to not hit it straight down the centre and back to your opponent when you do your pretty aerial shot.
