I'm sure he wanted this to go to trial

it's really amazing... Japanese parents sure know how to teach their children to be afraid and weary of all Foreigners in Japan, white, black, yellow or green, but they don't teach them an ounce of common-sense regarding what they should or should never do when they travel abroad....

On the other side of the car park was a car with 4 young men inside. Unfortunately, our eyes met for a second and these young toughs thought they would beat up a foreigner (there was nobody around). Anyway, they came charging across the car park.
