Same service, different direction. What does this say about the Japanese? They are willing to pay high prices to get out of their country for a few days. It's no wonder really - work long days, commute in a sardine tin can and live in a small uninsulated box. Can't take a holiday at other times cos of the way society has organised itself, so cough up for the inflated prices fools, then back to reality working to cover the costs of your few days of life.

Wow this thread totally flies in the face of that often-touted "other countries are not relevant" line. Guess we won't be hearing that anymore.
Moderator: Why are you puzzled? The question specifically asks for opinions on any nationality of tourist group.

How hard is it for people to buy the correct train ticket or have their SUICA card charged up? I seem to be behind way too many incompetent losers who lock up the ticket gate with their inappropriate commuting.
As for the not sitting next to the non-descendant of the sun goddess Amaterasu foreigner, I say enjoy the space. Ham it up, and watch those cramped on the other side in discomfort squirm as you spread out and lie down if need be.

Boys boys, both of you should redirect your energies into the right direction, that being a relentless bashing of Becky, the underdeveloped little girl whose only feature is her blue eyes. She needs a solid kick through her flat chest, sending her through the stage props and into backstage.
That and/or some copious quantities of nihonshu or other aloholic beverage. It's the answer to everything.

Those umbrellas have a mind of their own don't they. Mine didn't co-operate today so I tossed it aside like the piece of crap it was. Lucky there were no Sankei Shimbun photographers around to see me litter on the street.

JT I'm a bit confused as to whether I should rush out and buy this product, or if I should buy one of KDDI’s new au Smart Sports handsets that Daisuke Miyazaki, 26, was promoting here on March 27th. I mean which is better? He seems to love both. Should I just buy both or even two of both and mention where I found about about these products? Please advise.

Incidentally, I meant the ones who make their way down the train carriageS i.e. pass through them and pushing past many a Tanaka to save a few seconds, not just getting up to get off.

Well if they could get a seat and weren't jammed together like sardines at 180% occupancy. And where are the seat belts anyway? Isn't this supposed to be a safety country? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

I take issue with the people who try to make their way down the train carriages while the train is in motion, in an effort to save time out on the platform or for whatever reason, I say hard cheese and do my best to inconvenience them for a few seconds, cos that's all they're saving while they inconvenience everyone else who has to move out of the way. It's satisfying.

If that's indeed right, then maybe they shouldn't have invited the two she-men at the front. More likely it has to do with Japan's unspoken homosexual past and present and the fact their little fellas don't even make two inches.

I just want to give Becky a nice side drive kick through her solar plexus. I can't stand her pathetic frame surfing that 'BIG lottery' wave. She is an underdeveloped 12 year old, but has blue eyes which are like jewels compared to the black ones sported by most.

A model appears as we get the frontal view, but then disappears again as she turns sideways, heading to the bathroom to regurgitate that piece of lettuce she had for lunch.

I see the guy in the middle can feel the pressure starting to mount over how his Ministry of Infrastructure just handed another 2.5 billion to a construction company, and down the toilet for Tanaka-san public.

I'd like to say both of these girls are out of this world...well Riyo Mori is anyway. They make a great couple though. Rowr.
At any rate, Yuukorin will take issue with this title of Miss Universe. She is the real princess of space, particularly of that inside her head. Oh I didn't mean that Yuuko. I love you. xoxo
