perspective? if you live in the "inaka" your opinion may not be the same as those who only experience Tokyo...
overall quality of the trains is great, the shinkansen are awesome, schedules are kept and accidents are few... though suicides do interrupt a bit too often in Tokyo.

People here still don’t quite understand American politics, the idea of political majorities, Congress or the U.S. Constitution

** a wave of foreclosures that have depressed the housing market.**
seems to me, it is actually spending beyond your limits and a failure to pay for something you entered into a contract to buy, along with good old fashion stupidity, that is depressing the housing market..

the PHS system is great, yet suffers from an image problem. If you need phone, it is great... if you want to surf the web, you should look somewhere else. I have enjoyed the low costs since the beginning... I don't think they will disappear since this is the system that is used by doctors and hospitals... and seems to be gaining a bit in the student use since parents are finally getting tired of paying outrageous bills for their kid's phone.

a careful study of Japanese history (and asian history) will show that it was "catholicism" as practiced by the Jesuits that was introduced at that time... Christianity had already been in Japan for a long time before that date... the area known as Kyoto today, still has many of the pre-Xavier sites visible...

who cares what the "fans" say, it is what his value was to the Sumo association... which was huge. His ranking as third in history should be enough... but he is a "gaijin" so he has to pay some penalty... if wasn't driven out now, he would have easy been at the top in a couple years.
