    The "Guinness Book of Asinine Comments". This should become a whole new blog (???)

    My personal favourite is: "Oh, I'll fetch you a knife and fork" by one obviously very confused waitress. Just as I announce to the whole restaurant: "Excuse me miss, I left my chopsticks at home.., do…

    Obviously not wanting to be outdone by Shanghai's more than distinctive TV & Radio Tower, it was inevitable, I suppose (as featured in MI3).

    "Westurn" - A good summary of modern Japanese society. Couldn't agree more. A sad reflection of a country that was at the top of the game, but like a reformed alcoholic is now wallowing in its own self-pity and starved of attention.

    I see, according to this report, the man…

    Quote: "The Labor Standards Law bans an employer from hiring workers aged below 18 to work in a place that exposes them to radiation." So, its OK to be exposed to radiation if you're over 18? Oh.., wait, yeah, sorry, I forgot. This is Japan!

    "Gaijin" and the equally annoying "Gaijin-san" is offensive. I hate this word! I would never go around calling Japanese people "Nipponjin-san".

    Was in the office on the 32F when the building started to shake in my city, near Shanghai. Managed to get the lift out of the building (yeah.., like thats a great idea - using the lift during a major seismic event). My Chinese collegues didn't budge in spite of…

    Pukey2 - Here! Here! Yes, the dwindling number of Japan programmes at UK universities mirrors a world-wide phenomenon. Teachers like myself can no longer find employment at UK higher educational institutions because of this lack of interest in all things Japanese studies... rather sadly. And this, in spite of having…
