"Earth's average surface temperature has been rising consistently for the last 45years" Let's try more like 5000 years. Since we are coming out of an ice age. Some say now we are heading into another ice age a bit faster than normal brought on by pollution, i.e. the name change.

Not all English. Lacking all discount coupons, interesting, only Japanese people can get coupons? lacking the same interface. Just a simple online order system, which could be made in about 1 hours work. Pizza Hut is better anyway. Pick it up yourself and get 1/2 price on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

And all of them make up the fictitious 5% unemployment rate in Japan. Numbers don't add up.

He has their address? This guy should be hung the places in a sand bath under the hopes he might come back from the dead. Can you imagine opening a letter from the killer of your child. Let them pull the lever that will release his body through the hole to dangle until he is dead.

got to love the new paranoid world we live in. I'm so sick of hearing about 'potential' terror bla bla bla. If we change our habits they win. So who cares. Enough already.

And they will sell your email address contact information etc to make up for the money. Coffee prices in Japan are crazy, except for MAC which will let you refill for free all day. Take a thermos in and fill it up before work. 100 yen for as much as you want. I take usually 5 cups with me. see Japanese women do it all the time so I figured I would just copy them.

"... is always looking for ways to better serve our customers" yea right. That's why the seats are so close together, the drink list is cheap, and often the food and snacks are so cheap that I can't understand how they can call it gourmet. Business class on my last flight had a simple ham and cheese wrap which might have cost they 50 cents to make. IF that... And their rule of no snacks on a short (6 hour flights) is crazy. Attendants are often in the galleys doing nothing but chatting and for the most part rude. When are they going to realize they are just bus drivers in the sky and attendants are just glorified waits. Is it so hard that they stand for 12 hours a day and give people their food and drinks. millions of people do it everyday in the world and at their pay they should be very very happy. Actually saw one yawn during the safety film at the start. So their comments about safety are crazy some can't even stay focused at the start of their flight. I'm just happy that Singapore Airlines have recently lowered their prices to compete on price with United. Flying them everywhere I can.

Japanese will pay. They love to waste money. Even with everyone complaining they don't have money.

I love my little Video Nano. Very small and decent quality. Sad they are doing a very Japanese thing of taking away features that people like.

She was under contract to try... now, the company must pay her. (i.e. the Japanese company, the Malaysian Company, etc.) She has a great gig and in the end she didn't even have to be here. Nice. I wish I could get that gig.

Japanese love detaining foreigners. The little man who has a junky job must have loved it. She had so little of the drug that it wasn't even a felony in the US. I would say that nearly 90% of Americans at one point in their life have done drugs. Would immigration bar all of them for a simple rule of passage? If so, Japan should consider America an ex friend. Even Bill Clinton had admitted to smoking pot. So Bill better stay out of Japan.
