too stingy to pay for decent accomodation

What is "decent accommodation" to you?

Disillusioned:

I was in a departo in Chiba city and at least half a dozen women started screaming and running for the exits. The people are panicked and even more paranoid than before.

You were just thinking about surfing (as usual), weren't you?

So if you don't take a package tour you're going to get "hooked" on weed and throw your life away?

Actually it's a ridiculous statement (again). The article doesn't say anything about packages! Besides, going on a package means you won't get hooked on something? Again, Smith...if you don't have anything to say it's better not to post than to post nonsense.

Again the wishful thinking factor prevails when posters expect Japan to drop to fourth or fifth place soon. China just became the the world's 2nd economy for what it's worth. The Chinese government CREATES an image of stable growth while in reality that growth is not stable at all and the central government has only limited influence on that. About 30% of the companies in China don't follow the rules issued by the central government in Beijing. On the other hand, despite the strong yen, export of Japanese products to China and Korea keeps growing. Apparently Japanese companies are still held in high esteem despite their higher prices. Japan's trade surplus shows this. In 2010 Japan exported for about 200 billion more than it imported compared to the year before. Plus, the higher costs of food will have a much greater impact in countries like China than in Japan. China will have to spend a lot of money to avoid social unrest. Unlike Japan.

who's more powerful militarily ?

Ehhmm, that could be Russia. But quite irrelevant to this topic. It would be a disaster for Russia if they'd use their military to make their point. So, I don't really understand why you bring up the "military" thing.

Smith, obviously it shows that you don't know anything about international politics. Although you're trying very hard to pretend you do. Giving up on those islands is exactly the thing Japan should NOT do. If they ever get them back or not is totally irrelevant.

Zenny

The posters I'm talking about get offended when the news from your other source shows they are wrong. It's kind of an ego thing, you know.
