    There is no way the "Afgans" can export the cars w/o Japanese involved.

    I had my motorcycle stolen and the jcops said "Chinese". If so, then how do the Chinese get the bikes through customs? I would expect that customs officials are looking closely at any shipping containers involving Chinese and/or Afgans.

    Many internatinal schools are desparate for kids and are offering large discounts. Of course, not the ones mainly used by expats. These refuse discounts for the "common people" because the expats' companies pay these ridiculous prices for them.

    I called every single one near neighborhood and some said yes and some said no. I went and visited those that said yes and found a school, while still expensive, is not crazy.

    The one thing that scares me about Japanese schools is that the kids are scared to death of other kids outside their little world. Watch what happens when your son/daughter go up to a Japanese only child enrolled in a Japanese only school and tries to play? It is not going to happen.

    On the other hand, Japanese kids at international schools seem much more outgoing and are willing to make new friends.

    Just my opinion on the matter.

    Stormqueem. To actually judge the levels of Japanese baseball and US baseball by who wins the WBC shows you have no clue about baseball. Japan tries and send their best players to the US every year. And, how many have made it? 3? Ichiro, Matsui (sort of) and Nomo?

    The WBC is not taken serious by the US.

    Now, look at what happens when the US sends all-stars to Japan to play "friendies". Japan got crushed.

    On the other hand, Japanese LLs are tough. I watched most of the games and they deserved to win.

    The Pentagon has a Mosque? I wonder why there are no complaints about this? The answer is because the Republicans can't gain anything by creating fear.

    Honestly, I get home from work at 8 PM. So, i can only spend limited time with my kids during the week. So, you are saying that I can teach my son English only on the weekends enough for him to be as good as japanese? never!

    In my company all Japanese must speak very good English. These are the higer paying jobs in Japan. So, in my opinion, spend the money now on English so that your son/daughter don't end up living with me until 30 or later).

    Plus, I would never send my kids to a Japanese university. All they have to do is cram once/twice a year and the rest is party time right?

    Oh, I forgot to mention that I "Hafu" does not bother me at all. And, if this bothers my son, he will have to stick up for himself and punish some poor Japanese bully who will get his butt kicked.

    One thing I don't understand is how many of you can send you kids to a Japanese school? If you wife is Japanese, as mine, and school is Japanese then where will English come in? Please don't say school because that is a pipe dream. Of course, Intl. schools are expensive for non expats(Me) but it seems to be worth every penny to be able to talk to my son in English.

    isn't it odd that not one Japanese female celebrity, singer, actress has ever married a gajiin. Take Utada for example, she speaks fluent English, grew up in the states and then ended up marrying some Japanese guy 10 years older than her. it was a divorce waiting to happen.

    HonestDicator - "much better looking and a better personaility". This is your opinion and that is why you married her. And, she has a better personality because? Because she talks to you? It is doubtful you have ever talked to these women to know how smart, dumb, witty, etc.

    Personality is subjective. We all say these women don't have great personalities yet it is doubtful than any of us have ever talked to a Miss World Contestant.

    It is laughable than so many guys on this board are critical. Honestly, are you doing that much better? Doubtful. I have seen many gajiin with Asia/foreign women here in Japan and about 1 in 10 has chick as hot as the ones above.

    Now, your woman may be a genious and/or a great talker. But let's not assume she is in the same boat as these two looks wise.

    I am guessing this guy will not be in Japan long. I wouldn't want a guy with frosted hair working for me either. It shows a lack of professionalism. How can this fool be taken seriously in a corporate world where most guys wear suits and ties. yet, this young guy comes in looking like a surfer?

    anyway, the guys that have been here a long time no how to make it here. and, maybe this fool should listen to their advice. How many gajiin do we all know that did not make it two years?

    Flying United from Tokyo to Chicago is a joke. They only offer a 1970 era 747 with only a single projector in economy.
    I ended up choosing AA because the flight had personal TVs for all clases, AC power in selected economy, etc. United was a bit cheaper but it should be half. There is a good webiste SeatGuru.com that shows you all of this per flight.

    Vulcan and Zucro, can you please explain how strong "Cubic", Cebu, etc. have become strong econmicaly? Have you actually been there or done any type of research?
    Okinawa is a clear exmaple of politics at its best. It is the blame game. What jobs, industries, etc does Okinawa have? if the US leaves will they replace those bases with jobs for the people? of course, there is no plan and local fools would rather blame the US then their elected officials. typical Japanese.

    All Jwomen claim abuse. Ask any divorced woman why they split and they will say this. Of course, there are some that are real. But, in my opinion, most are just lies in order to save face as being "divorced".

    Wow, so many of you really don't understand Japan. A typical OL working for a JCompany earns about 5M and she works 10 hour days. And, what % have a chance to move up the ladder? Her goal is to get married an quit. I would expect a very small % would keep their jobs if their husbands could afford it. Remember, I am talking about a JCo.

    Now, a hostess earns that much and probably a lot more (depending on the club) and works a fraction of the time. And, she wants to marry a rich guy too. What is the difference? Doing some data entry a monkey could do or having to build up some fools ego.

    Plus, look at other countries such as the US where there are countless strip clubs.

    media - america demolished the iraq military in 2 weeks. the problem was and is morons blowing up kids eating ice cream in crowded market places. I would be interested to know how any military could win in this case. there is really no defense against this.

    iraq - give up like women. run and hide. take off uniform. build IED bomb. go blow up women and children eating ice cream.

    So, i suppose you will never have kids? And, if so, you will just spend your vacations taking the train to Enoshima? Go for it.

    All parents want their kids to stop crying. If you think it is irratating for you then just imagine it is ten times worse for us. Then, we finally get the kid asleep and some fool turns on his light to go play on the laptop.

    What is with these people that can't stop playing on the laptop for a few hours? Do they really think their job is that important?

    zucro, they want you out too. they want all of us out. but they cant hold a pep rally for that.

    I am guessing that most of these people live near the base and hate the noise. as would anyone. but the base has been there forever and they got cheaper property as such. so, really they want their cake and to eat it too.
