The Chinese Communist Government have brought these protests on themselves. If the Torch ever reaches Nagano, I will be there to protest. The sight of the Chinese men dressed in blue and wearing sunglasses, running alongside the Olympic Torch was nauseating. They were described as "thugs" by the Chairman of…

Oh - and one more irk. The terrible pronunciation of Japanese place names by the American and British ladies who make the English announcements on trains. It makes me cringe. Where do they dig these people out of? I overheard some Japanese the other day mimicing the terrible pronunciation.

The following are not in order of importance - they are all equally obnoxious.
1. Japanese people who wont sit near you because you are a "gaijin."
2. Old men who suck their teeth incessantly - yuk.
3. Aggressive and impolite behaviour.
4. Women who put on makeup on trains…

Forgive me but the words "enjoy" and "NHK television programming" used in the same sentence are enough to make me throw up.

What a sad and sick society Japan is. While claiming to be progressive and a member of the 21st Century world, this ridiculous and depraved "festival" shows the truth about Japan. Its still in the Dark Ages!

Personally, I think that truly democratic countries should boycott the Beijing Olympics until the Communists set the people of Tibet free from their tyrranical rule. I hope there are plenty of protests around the world as the torch arrives in various world cities. The Chinese Communists need to take heed…

Freedom and Civil/Human Rights are dying in Japan. Part of the fun of Yoyogi Park was watching the locals perform, either dancing or playing instruments. Now the fun is gone. Fascism is alive and well in Tokyo.
