  Excellent article, JT! Air fares at the moment are outrageous. What wasnt mentioned here is the fact that recently British Airways announced HUGE profits - partly because they are ripping off passengers with outrageous Fuel Tax charges. I wont fly with them again.

  Reading this article doesnt make sense. It appears to be a typical J government "plan" which has neither bones, structure, or guts. In fact, a "plan" without a plan, and without any thinking - typical of the J government, and especially the Education Ministry, unfortunately.

  A shinkansen train is not allowed to roll because of graffiti painted on the side of it? Get a life! Of course, this is Japan, where everything has to be perfect. Of course, a gaijin criminal was responsible - like they are for all the crimes in Japan these days.
