We will hear about this issue until the sun expands into a red giant. What a waste of time. How many decades now? Japan and Russia should start sorting out the real problems going on on their turf.

Keep it small, fair and care about what you do and you can do okay. You dont need a teaching degree to teach English. Thats nonsense.

northlondon,

Its irrelevant what nationality is complaining about these working conditions. They are inhumane conditions. And why arent the businesses/bosses ever disciplined appropriately for their actions? I mean we know where these people worked right?

It also wouldn`t surprise me if a lot of these details are covered up...

Do people actually think that these situations didnt exist. How could the authorities not have known about such huge corrupt businesses? They dont care and never will. Bottom line. If they did, why not enforce the law on these businesses and start helping people. This story is a joke and…

Drop some of the ridiculous prices and the avg Joe will be able to afford more goods.

Haven`t been to Naha but I went to Ishigaki (southern island of Okinawa)a few years ago. Fantastic place where you can chill and enjoy the beaches and food. The goya dishes are tasty too. Taketomi Jima is a nice spot too.

Double is a stupid word. How about just American Japanese or Japanese American?

Good point. I think so too.
