"If you KNOW you're going to Britain, America or any other English speaking country as a result of a company transfer, then obviously you TAKE ENGLISH CLASSES! Any Japanese who fails to learn the lingo before they go, but expects foreigners to know theirs, shouldn't be working overseas in the…

"Well, for starters, I'm glad I live in the countryside far away from Tokyo, but really what's so bad about Tokyo Sky Tree? I bet no matter what the name or design of this tower it would recieve a majority of negative comments."
