  Bizzare. From the story it sounds like she accepted money for taking on a suitcase. But, she was found not guilty TWICE (in high conviction Japanese courts).

  I wonder what the details were of the reasonable doubt.

  Why do they need to mention his job title? Or put it in the headline for that matter? Its not like he is the CEO of Toyota.

  In general, Japanese customers are far more fussy and rude than foreigners. It is when you really get "screwed" by a Japanese business (not necessarely an inn) and with good reason complain, that you might here something like "you foreigners always make trouble".

  100% True.

  Why is this still an issue 63 years after these turkeys were enshrined there? Man, these folks in Asia can carry a grudge into infinity…

  Becuase their behaviors do not match their words time and time again. Also, becuase saving face sometimes is more important than logic.

  Any one of you who thinks this is an overreaction by Japanese police, jump the fence around the White House naked and let's see what happens...

  It wouldnt take the secret service two hours to catch me. It wouldnt take 50 of them to catch me. And they wouldnt run…

  What a study in cultural differences. If a middle aged Japanese man did the same thing in some royal palace or whatnot in Europe I can guarantee that most Japanese would be angry at him for projecting an image of Japanese as a bunch of looney toons. Yet everyone here…

  But the judge showed leniency to Oshima who he said did not ask for the bribes and has shown remorse for his conduct.

  What kind of logic is this?

  A couple of points...

  I wonder the nature of the tip off to the police.

  Im sure he will be plenty demonized by the media and public. But, it would be nice to see this bring some awareness to addiction. I have never seen so many alcoholics and gambling addicts…
