Immigration should be in charge of catching and detaining this 'illegal migrant!'

-They'd have him in custody in no time!

Well of course 22 prefectures would lend their support!

Presumably (or should that be - obviously?) it was already decided last year that Aso would take-over. Fukuda was only an 'interim leader', perhaps not even worthy of being called a 'Prime Minister', to allow time for certain ongoing issues to…

Japan is the world's biggest talent graveyard. Even highly qualified/educated and fluent-speaking non-Japanese are turned away from jobs. Don't waste your time with this dying country. Contribute your skills/knowledge to other countries that value you!

Yes, the students are indeed the ones who will suffer. I think this could be the first of many similar stories to come. Why doesn't Japan start hiring better qualified/experienced teachers from abroad? Relying less on (say, for example) the vast pool of Engrish teachers by hiring highly skilled and…

The only challenge (and not a serious one) the iPhone faces in Asia is from all the laughable copies available at every street market. You should see all the iPhone copies around Shanghai markets. Just 'normal' phones with a crudely stuck Apple 'iPhone' sticker & logo on the front. Its…
