That’s why they’re willing to pay the high fares. A no smoking regulation is not service.”

Smoking is a privalege, not a right. What if the cab driver himself doesn't smoke? Guess what, he gets to breathe all that toxic crap because his client can't be bothered to follow the…

I've hardly seen this type of extreme dress up in all the times I"ve been to japan. The women are dressed conservatively but still manage to look great. Here in this place we've got middle aged women wearing juniors' clothing, thier bellys protruding out. I think I've only seen one…

I do think dogs need to be chained, especially vicious dogs such as pitbulls. We've had a lot of cases here in my city where people just taking a stroll down the sidewalks of the neighborhood are mauled to death by dogs who escape thier yards. Usually the owner is…

I'm so used to credit cards NOT being accepted anywhere that I kinda just stopped looking. shrug

Yes you can use a foreign card in Japan in 7 11 stores. I withdrew money and it only cost $2.50 transaction fee. Not bad compared to bank and airport fees >:(.

Why doesn't the official understand that he is no more special or above anyone to be excused from the tab just because he has problems? He's going to cause that hotel a LOT of problems if he doesn't pay.

Question, how do a lot of Japanese natives feel about this? I'm guessing the teenage crowd likes it. My Jfriends are over 30 and they call the otakus "idiots" but I'm curious about what the younger generation thinks :P

The Orgy book? :P Just kidding. Started reading it earlier this summer before I'd left to Japan. The thing is, I'm sure I read in the afterward that this was NOT a memoir of the author's life. He'd mentioned his own was "too boring."

Do you all live in the USA by the way? Sorry but Bush has got to go and all of his followers. He made a mess of this country. Our economy is slumping, we've become a global embarassment with the Iraq war and not to mention our "intelligent" president.
