While Japanese can breeze though school, foreigners study and become bilingual and then companies want to attract them to work for FREE or almost nothing. Insane... When they can't find a Japanese people to fill the vacancy's? At the same education level they wouldn't do it? I would say this is the slimiest thing I have seen in Japan. We will give you a visa but work for us for free. Pure slime. Inter systems in Japan are a joke. There is no real reason to have them and hurt anyone who joins them. As most employees start at a company when they are 22 and die in the company around 65 where is the benefit unless you are treated like Japanese staff. There is no job hopping here, so unless you enter the company on schedule, then there is no future. These companies are just working you and then letting you go on your merry way and care nothing about you or your future. They only want free or very very very cheap labor and anyone who says different are completely insane. Of my University friends, I am the only one out of 300 in my class to stay in Japan for any period of time. If fact several left Japan vowing never to return. Most of my friends who come, go very very soon after. (less than a year) This country has a great talent of irritating anyone who really likes Japan and turning them into haters of Japanese. An Internship program is just that. A great way to turn foreigners away from even liking Japan and wanting to work here. A great way to get people to leave.

Looks like a machine sold between 2 and 5 am on American TV to people who are tired and can't sleep. At least with those commercials they have nice looking people.

So childish way to deal with things. Japanese live in their own world.

Drink water and how about having Air condition-airs... Air-condition. 28? What's the point. Buses, Taxis, Stores, 100 lights per square meter in the office, and people worry about a few yen in air conditioning? Crazy. Like my friends say... "Japanese live in their own little world."

asked their HR department if they were hiring, they said, no. Only Japanese candidates at this time. Foreigners need not apply for Japan offices. China has some openings, but as for Japan, they only want Japanese.

I'm sure they are all completely over insured. Their over priced cows are treat better than any of the employees. Good, but not worth the price. Give me American Beef made in Iowa or Nebraska (Omaha steak) any day. Affordable and just as soft and juicy.

Learn to walk in the side walk, *rule 1. Then if you are walking in the street pay attention. Japanese walk around any where they want and they expect others to take care of them. Very child like. If you are going to play in the street, then you might get hit. Everyone knows Japanese streets are third world. They say it is because the cities are big. What a lie. It's that there is no city planning at all here. So if everybody knows, then people should take better care. But they don't because they can't think for themselves. Stop blaming the cars. 99% of the time it is people simply not paying attention and walking in the street.

How about pronouncing it the English way.... Wow can they do it?
I the states lots of abbr. for it. I like Mickey D's. But until Japanese can actually pronounce the real way to say it, who cares.

Pull that crap in Tokyo and you would be arrested too. So stop complaining. He went there with the attitude that he was Japanese and didn't need to follow the rules. Lock him up then deport him. It's our National Holiday. As for brutality, the police seemed to be taking great care not to hurt him. I see deportation in your future. That would be after you spend several thousand dollars on lawyers in our system.

What is with "Americans" bla bla bla. The world speaks English for business. It is the language that has developed to bring countries together. Either Japan can join the rest of the world, or the world will just start to ignore Japan even more. Japan already is the place least wanted by western management. The talented management hate coming here. I believe the world languages rank:
