You've got it. Some institutional investors are still playing with someone else's money. Sophisticated world class individual investors are alredy out of Japan, I would like to tell you.

Here you go, Japan. It will not resolve anything without a real economic restructuring. I only see innocent investors are dancing high without realizing what's coming next.

So is US when dealing with international custody battle. US was very dirty. I believe that US (Justice Dept) has no right to strip a passport from Japanese national (mother) when the case is being tried Motherwas not a criminal. It was BS.

FINALLY!!
I was involved in the case where Japanese mother left US with 3 children as her husband started a new relationship with American woman.. Their father later went back to Japan for kidnapping 2 children of of 3 back to US. One child living in Japan and two living in US never shared a life long sibling relationship. I can write a book about this case. It was a mess when dealing with Japanese government..

Toshjiko, sorry to tell you that is not a lie. US has been working hard trying to get rid of Korean prostitution rings.
Korean prostitution in the US is out of control
Good luck on your research on this subject. Thanks.

It was not diplomatic for any politician to say. No excuse here, however there is some truth in it. US has been busting Korean prostitutions for years and it has been a cat/mouse race-never ending. You can google many sites on this issue, FYI.

I have been saying this for years, now this came down from their own government. I do not feel too bad. Damn!
They are the worst travelers at US airports. They probably think they own the airports. They are shouting too loud, clogging toilets, leaving trashes behind, disturbing people waiting lines, etc. It is not pleasant and I am now avoiding them totally by joining the VIP club. I pay for it, but it's worth it to keep my sanity.

toshiko, this is a thumbs up comment. James Mitchener wrote a book called "sayonara" and it became a famous movie including Miss Miyoshi Umeki.

The owner of the world’s biggest steelmaker by sales said the future of EU manufacturing depended on politicians in Brussels helping industry face what he said was unfair competition from China.
It is very important to know that a price dumping is NOT acceptable in global market. These days are gone. Japan needs to continue branding QUALITY products. QUALITY sells. Thanks.
