I think the best in general are Virgin Atlantic.Nice planes,good crew and interesting food All the American carriers have stuck up crew. I flew ANA to paris last year,managed 10 beers and two bottles of wine in the galley..really friendly crew,only let down by the bland and boring food.

The Japanese don't like bad news and secretly they have huge pride in the Toyota name. Now they have inner shame. The president has scurried over to congress and apologized in the Japanese way.In Japan expressing regret,then carrying on as if nothing ever happened is more than adequate to get you out of most bad situations. The public hate any bad news,especially as toyota have put shame on the country internationally..so as usual they just bury their heads in the sand, look the other way,change the channel and watch the olympics.another problem solved the Japanese way. There are intelligent people in Japan who access foreign media or read quality newspapers but they are in a small minority. I love watching the TV news when they do report a terrible crime in Japan,the newsreaders read the report with a serious face,then when finished they stare at the desk for a few seconds,maybe a sigh or a humm,then back to a report on someone who went to an onsen 'kirei' then ate some 'oiishii' food...and all is well in the world.

I would never put the burden of looking after me onto my children. My father told me when he gets too old and senile to give him the boomstick and he will finish himself off with dignity.
Funny how Japanese people are so proud to say 'the japanese have very long lifespans'....If lying in your own p*ss in an atic or some back bedroom is perceived as living..well you can keep it.

and the reason why they didn't find him until 9pm was that there would have had to be liaison meetings about further meetings between the rescue services,lots of standing around until everyone was satisfied that the correct channels had been followed,form signing,lots of lip sucking and can coffee drinking...and then finally being careful not to tread on anyone's toes then the search would start...too late

Japanese kids have very nice skin,but once they get into their teens and twenties the girls skin is awful.I think Chinese,Korean,Thai and Fillipino girls have much better skin than japanese girls blemishes,huge moles and sun damage maybe someone has been looking at too many photoshop images on the net.
