  Women's Empowerment -- in Japan????? Now there's an oxymoron if there ever was one. I'm afraid Reese will be "Cutie Grey" before that ever happens.

  Steppenwolf...Bully for you. I have been here over 7 years, and can proudly state that I have never wasted so much as one yen in one of these clubs. I can "have a beer or two and relax" in my apartment or a restaurant with my girlfriend having a real/meaningful…

  If you define "weak" as a lack of standing up for themselves as individuals and/or maintaining a sense of individuality, then Japanese are among the weakest group of folks in the world. The salarymen let the LDP, goverenment bureaucrats, their company, and their bucho dictate their life -- what time…

  Patrick_Smash...great comment: "Japan's a good country not (to) be Japanese in." In my opinion, it is absolutely spot on. Because us gaijin did not grow up with this "shared suffering" mentality/nonsense, so therefore we don't have to live by those same rules. As a result, while we may create some…

  Proving once again that New Yorkers have better taste in food than their J-counterparts.

  Bogi...Which begs the question -- How does a bowl of eggs relate in any way to the headline of "Have a Rice Day"? What am I missing?

  papa...You are right, there is a lot about this story that we do not know. But, since he is a J-guy, we can reasonably assume that it was a "mini" car.

  lipscombe..stellar? Wrong. He was embarrassing at the last Olympics. The Olympics are supposed to be about sportsmanship, not bullying and ego-driven rants. In my opinion, he is the antithesis of the Olympic spirit, and I think it is too bad that a company with the heritage of Coke and the…

  thepro...An educated guess would say at least half of Japanese salary men. And the half that doesn't, simply can't afford to.

  Yeh, great. But all the posters promoting this new line in the Metro stations are just in Japanese -- including the stops. So, this wonderful Olympic city with the most "functional and punctual" transport system, once again displayed that it has no sense when becoming tourist friendly.
