i'm a bit confused by the 2-chome link. is the implication that he's gay? or just that it's a good place to hide regardless?

what's it called? paris syndrome or something, whereby japanese oba-chans go to paris expecting it to look as good as it does in magazines and, when they discover it to be the somewhat gritty city that it is, literally have a nervous breakdown and have to be repatriated?
i guess they're not that used to dealing with reality
Posted in: When I first arrived at Roissy airport, it was a shock to me, because Japanese people always dream of Paris as being a beautiful city.

japan needs more public bins, though. there are basically NONE. if it wasn't for convenience stores there would be nowhere to dispose of rubbish at all

i know this is still a pretty cash-based society, and petty theft is quite rare, but does no-one else think that 124k yen is a LOT of money to carry around? i get this impression that isn't an uncommon amount either.

indeed, the police continue their columbo-lite posturing in order to save face (which probably includes diplomatic relations with britain) but secretly praying that the hawkers will give up; as they surely must do eventually for peace of mind.
quite a big contrast to the recent case of the american guy who was sent down for murdering his japanese girlfriend (sorry can't find a link on this one)

Posted in: The recession has made me realize I'm not going to make as much money as I expected, and I'd be more stable financially if I had a double income to fall back on.

how would you explain anomalies such as paris hilton, oh wise one? just in what way is someone like her "productive". you need to look up concepts such as nepotism if you truly believe the worlds wealthy deserve to be that way

a lot of japanese are interested in the world outside of japan, but only insofar as this doesn't heavily conflict with their existing preconceptions; i've experienced this a lot as a brit who isn't from london and who isn't particularly interested in professional football.
thinking the oscars, this year's big winner was a british film dealing with an indian subject matter, and doing so relatively accurately, sympathetically and objectively. the thought of a japanese film being able to do this without resorting to stereotypes is laughable.
