  if it will take more than 1 minutes to provide you with that service, you will be asked to return tomorrow.

  Oh, so no tolerance for overtime also - that's what I love about the country. Next time go shopping in a reasonable time, not 1 minute before closing, and don't cost anybody his/her free time.

  Never mind that one can drive faster than 100 km/h in Germany - last time I was shocked to reach a city 400 km away in about 2 hours, 15 minutes - and there were no autobahn fees

  Even been to Germany? It's full of dour Germans!

  I've been many times in Germany - the Germans (especially those under 60 y.o.) are very easy going and warm people.

  “God often borrows the hand of a human to punish the evil deeds of men,”

  I'm not religious exactly because of people with these kind of views.

  Just to give an impressions on the difficulties: one has to literally climb over a number of dead corpses in order to reach the summit.Google Everest rainbow valley (called like this because of the multicolor clothes the death still wear) for a better impression about what to expect there.

  Yeah, money can't give you the perfect physical condition needed for tackling this mountain. Very impressive.

  cool article. As a fairly heavy taxi user, I've had my good share of lousy drivers, cheating (or trying to) drivers and plain head cases. Every time is a new adventure :).

  genjuro - yeah, I was expecting much more.. At least one or two severed fingers, and some harakiri... They should learn from their fathers how to do things properly...

  I'm in that 10%. Colour Matching, for example, is important.

  Colour Matching is also possible in GIMP. There are scripts doing it automatically (it takes curves averages), and there are tutorials on how to do it manually.

  Just one question:

  How can it happen that only the war losers ever have war criminals?

  just use GIMP - less than 10 % of PS users are in need of functions than can't be found in GIMP.

  Saulo, actually I believe the police behaved better in this case than in many past cases.

  There is only so much they can do, do to legal restrictions places on police's liberty of action.

  Whoever hears the animal-like scream of a Honda F1 engine on full power, down the track, will never forget it. It always sounded different, somehow. It makes one feel ALIVE!!

  In any civilized country this would be the headline news for days... hmmm not so in Japan. The sensitivities are somehow different here.

  yeah, 10 m will do just fine when the 40 m high wave comes. The company that ensured this contract must be so happy now.

  Deer skin is used for fabricating the gloves the kyudo archers use. As far as I know there is great demand for it in Japan.

  Peters, in The Peninsula. Countless others. French cuisine in Tokyo might be better than in France itself.

  I'm happily married with two kids. What scares me the most is the number of (stranger) women telling me blankly that "kawaii, Haaafuu no ko hoshiiii". I can easily see some them getting married with some nice looking gaijin ONLY for his sperm. Once the kids obtained this method is the best to get rid of the (unwanted to begin with) father.

  This pattern is very common especially with girls met in places like Roppongi.
