Here's the video from the event I'd mentioned earlier. Excuse me, it was not the Inokashira line, but actually Osaka.

I don't like seeing Clinton and McCain working together. It makes me think that the two of them are just playing politics... but of course, in whose interest?

Gaijin whining like this is what makes me completely adverse to reading Metropolis magazine.

Only in Japan would a 7 year old be commissioned to do the artwork that will be the face of a nation's technological achievement!

In the most recent incident, for example, the commuter probably had no idea that I was a foreigner.

I don't know if Ron was the problem or if it as the other commuters. I was a witness to a similar altercation on the Inokashira line, where an old man actually threw a punch at a middle-aged business man who refused to let him squeeze through the door and onto the train.

In this case, I saw some Japanese bystanders placating the man who'd been swung at, though he (of course!) looked pretty angry and ready to show the old man a thing or two (and he could have, being fairly large for a Japanese).

I usually question this sort of account as well, but this time, the only thing I would ask is if Ron is of Japanese ethnicity, though native to Canada? That's the only way I could understand his xenophobia comment.
