The new tour guide for Tokyo at JTB Nagoya still says its open for tours. They have a big section the market and the restaurants in the area that serve their sushi "still warm" for you after you see the bidding in the market. NHK tonight had some tourists upset because this was the "whole point for their trip to Japan." Guess it was too late to recall them from the printer. Picked one up at Nagoya Station today out of curiosity.

And what exactly has changed in Japan? Oh yeah the uniquely unique 4 seasons, that's right. As far as Obama is concerned: Meet the new boss, same as the boss - We got fooled again.

People who pick their nose in public. Women who do their hair then use hairspray on the train. Kids who keep jumping up and down on the train seat and the parents say nothing to them until the little brat falls on their head, I always laugh out loud when that happens. High school kids who yell their conversations on train, hey morons you are only 6 inches apart, not miles apart. Oyaji in train stations who spit every 3 seconds. Anyone who spits in public. Old women with 20 shopping bags and take up 4 seats on the train with them. People who stop at the top or bottom of escalators, then get whiny and offended when the crowd pushes them aside, wooo wooo clue train coming. Step aside and look at the signs. People who belch or expel gas in public, especially in elevators.

Ishihara has always been my favorite comedian. He does better rants than the late George Carlin. The guys cracks me up with every thing he says. He is definitely the winner of The Best Racist.

C'mon now, dont lose the faith of change and hope, all will be made new and miraculous on January 20, just be patient. You will see an immediate peace sweep over the world. Stories like this will be history, the Christian will lie with Muslim, and we will practice war no more.

Nanda I live in Nagoya and I can tell you when these punks are around all the old people quiver in fear. They've had pets killed in front of them and had property stolen by them. But they are not Hells Angels, this kid could have left if he wanted to. He wanted to play the tough guy, and pretend to be James Dean, and Marlon Brando, he made his choice. You seem to boo hoo this punk who probably did some bad stuff himself, again in big letters HE MADE HIS CHOICE.
No person forced to join this gang to begin with, he did so on his own free will. Again, we can make good choices or bad choices, in the end we pay for the choices we make. If he joined and knew getting beat out was the only way out, then he made the choice, too bad for his girlfriend, so sad she found the body, in the end HE MADE THE CHOICE.

Of course, everyone knows a crisis much smaller than the Great Depression spells the end of capitalism.

Should have chose his friends better. I honestly doubt this was the first time his buddies displayed violence. He made the choice to join this gang, bought his little scooter to fit in, and in the end made a bad choice. Some bad choices don't have a consequence like this, others do. Welcome to life. Sorry he is dead, I feel for his family. Unfortunately kids aren't taught how to objectively, much less subjectively, make good choices, neither in school or at home. Again, probably not the first time his chosen pals displayed violent behavior, the gangs here aren't Hells Angels, so he should have left.

Yeah Skip, submissive and controlled like Muslim and Japanese women right, you can't handle a real woman who speaks her mind? Why should western women shut up? If anything they need to speak out more. Now that Jerry Falwell is dead it should be easier.

If thats what Obama wants he better get ready to hand the Koran to each American and put all women in the USA in burkas, because according to a majority of Muslims in countries that are a majority Muslim that is what it will take, as well as breaking off all relations with Israel. That is what Iran, Jordan, Syria, the UAE say will improve relations. Shouldn't they be taken at their words?

Another day, another keystone in trouble. They need more realistic police dramas on NHK, NTV, and Fuji TV. They miss some great material for episodes with the reality here.

Keep up your fight Jane. You've got a lot of guts, and you are a hero to not only myself but my wife and daughter. Its time the Keystones reform from a standard of 19th century law enforcement and come into the 21st century with the basics of forensic science practice. I wish you luck.

Will the cirriculum include giving handicapped, pregnant women, and elderly their seats in the areas separated for them already. Will it include covering their mouths when they sneeze and cough in public. Sorry common sense cannot be taught. As far as morals are concerned if the parents aren't teaching them, then by middle school its a bit too late. Another example of pointing out a problem and the experts in the LDP haveing no solutions but announcing yet another "study". On top of the other 1000 studies currently under way.
