    I have had a similar experience recently. Not tadpoles but it seems to have been raining cigarette butts and sweet wrappers around my neighborhood.

    What an excellent train. I really admire Japan's constant investment in rail travel. It's definitely the way to go for so many reasons. Hope I have a chance to ride this beauty some day.

    I always find a rail journey a pleasure. It makes getting there fun. Air travel on…

    It sounds like a lot of fun at Takagawara.

    I've always had a good time at hot springs in Japan, especially if they have a kashikiri-onsen or kashikiri-buro.

    If you going to a hot spring with your cute Japanese girlfriend, make sure it has one of these.

    It's a tricky problem. One aspect is that many people traveling are too young to have kids yet or have chosen not to have kids. If people had more kids then it probably wouldn't be such a problem!

    Once you've had kids this problem seems to melt away. For one…

    These movie premiere's in Japan really are hopeless. The last one was the idiotic A4B28C little girls (or whatever they were) at the Star Trek premiere. Now we have some random sportsperson of all people turning up at Terminator. How ludicrous can you get?

    What's the problem with Japan? For…

    I hate to say it but this could have been me behind the wheel, a good few years ago.

    I think the problem of poor attendance at Japanese universities (if there is such a problem) relates to the length of classes, the number of classes students have and of course the content and how they are taught.

    For a start 90 minutes is way too long. An hour would…

    people need to stop picking on these kids and start listening to them

    Next time they are smashing up the park toilets at 1:00am you go and try "listening" to them. I am absolutely sure that would stop further vandalism...

    I'm all for this device, but it's a short term…
