    It really makes me wonder who is the monkey here -- I vote for the ones who can't keep Lucky under wraps.

    Ever heard of Google? One should research these things (or at least ask someone) before making a fool of oneself. This is a waste of space.

    I'm not saying that I believe they are worth the same. I'm saying that I would be more inclined to use the cash than the voucher.

    I wish they would do away with the vouchers, and just hand out cold, hard CASH. If I had 5 smackers in my hand, I'd probably be more willing to wait for the next flight.

    I hope she runs for President and actually captures the Republican (tea party) nomination. The Democrats will have a field day with her.

    The more she opens her mouth, the deeper the hole gets.

    Pretty sad when Japanese aren't turned on by their own.

    I believe McDonald's has been doing this for a while in South Korea. Why is Japan lagging behind?

    Some experts are saying that SK is just looking for an excuse for a military strike against NK because of their lack of retaliation over the Cheonan and Yeongpyong incidents. If this is the case, it could turn into an all-out war.

    I'll have to wait and see if any good comes of Gov. Richardson's trip to Pyongyang before speculating on how bad the tensions will get.

    It is definitely a US problem. With the outrageous fees for checking even one bag, everyone is taking everything on the plane with them. It is really a problem on the smaller regional jets. The overhead bins are full before even half the passengers board the plane. From my experience, this is one real cause of flights being delayed backing away from the gate.

    I'm glad I'm not going home for Christmas this year. Flying through Chicago is bad enough in good weather, let alone a snowstorm.

    So much for Japan being "eco" all the time. How much electricity are they wasting lighting up this temple? And to what end? A few oohs and ahhs?

    I, personally, really like St. Louis. Granted, there are some areas of the city where you absolutely DON'T go to, but if you keep your wits about you, it is a very nice city.

    I think this report is a little flawed. The most dangerous city is definitely across the river, in East St. Louis. Do a search, and you will see why.

    From my experience, Tokyo is great with trains coming every 3 minutes or so. However, in the countryside, if you live near a "local" train stop, there may only be 2-3 trains per hour, depending on the time of day.

    Tokyo is also relatively cheap for train and subway transportation compared to the countryside. People who come to Kyushu are amazed at how much it costs to travel (even a 30-minute ride).

    Have you ever actually worn a men's Kimono with Hakama?

    As a matter of fact, I have. Putting it on takes a little time, but taking it off is quite fast.

    I was not Japan-bashing, just making a sarcastic comment. Talk about hypersensitive!

    the “silly shirts” photo, often representing the host country’s culture

    ergo... Japan has no culture?

    China Airlines is Taiwanese-owned, based in Taipei. Nothing to do with the China problem here.

    t isn't about the money, rather it is about the common knowledge of history, government, language

    I was with you until the language comment. There is no official language in the US. Because white people of European descent have run the country for over 200 years, people assume the "official language" of the US is English, but there is no official language.

    Please know your history before making such comments.

    Between releasing the Chinese captain and this comment, I have absolutely NO trust in Kan the clown protecting Japan and its interests.

    Any world leader should have the cajones to tell China exactly what it thinks... China thinks it's the big boy in the room, when actually, they depend on the rest of the world for their GDP.

    If the world were to ignore China and return business to their own countries, there would be another "Great Leap Forward" mess in China.

    @geronimo206 --

    Along with inheriting NK it looks like the heir-apparent son has also inherited his Dad's hair style, pudgy figure, his really poor sense of fashion in clothing and maybe even the sunglasses too.

    You obviously haven't seen his grandfather, Kim il Sung... he is the spitting image of him. Rumors have it that he had plastic surgery to look like his grandfather.

    In NK, it is believed that if the leader of the country has a "pudgy figure", it is good for the country.

    Before making statements like that, try reading Google news first.
