With a Latin guy while I’m traveling abroad! I think he would give me an incredibly passionate trip!
—He invites me to go for a drive one day, and I find out he’s booked a room at a seaside hotel. That would be the best!
wow! sounds like all those J women are so sex crazy....and yet they behave so noble and refined. Yet in reality only God knows....lol.

They are rubbish! I trusted them for some months to get me a new job but eventually I got the job on my own effort. All I did was just sent in my resumes and sales record and I got the job! Of course after a couple of interviews but that's procedures.
It's so silly isn't it to put your life in the hands of the recruiting companies? All they did for me was trying to get linked onto my LinkedIn.com with the hope of getting all my contacts and then also proposed that I provide them with some companies' list on the pretext of approaching those companies for me...in reality they approached the companies for their own purpose.
I think they are just a bunch of mean people!

A 58-year old man and a Filipina woman in her 40s...assuming she's his girlfriend, I bet they fought over his younger companions. The poor woman could have spent some years of her younger age to be with this man and he's now probably running around with women half his age...RIP.

I'm happy to take the local line. Cheaper and it still gets me to Narita. I'd rather spend more of my money on savings than spending on unnecessary things like going out of my way to catch the new train.

Zenny11: In papers yes we are seen as equal. But not in reality. I'm also a Permanent Resident of another country where my parents reside. I do vote for that country because I'm knowledgeable about that country and feel welcome in that country. Plus I grew up understanding that country's language and culture before moving there. But in Japan, apart from lack of knowledge, I also don't feel welcome to be part of the society. So I don't see the reason to vote and get myself involved with the Japanese politics.

I'm a Permanent Resident of Japan. But I don't wish to vote for any Japanese Politicians because I'm not that knowledgeable about the Japanese political history let alone the Japanese history. My job is to contribute my expertise to the Japanese society and I'm well paid for that. I'm still a gaijin and will never be accepted into the society. So I'm just happy being a 'long time guest' of this Country...:)

The seishain bullshit has to be eliminated. It only create more lazy and unproductive employees. No wonder this guy bear the grudge. He's probably a productive worker for all we know but just was not taken seriously by Mazda. Being a temp worker is real shit with all the snobbish seishain looking down on you.

What a sad news. I came across many J people who can't swim. I wonder why? there're so many swimming facilities and coaches here. At the gym only the oba-chans and ojichans are learning to swim...lol.

In 2 months he'll be having fun having his pics taken, in 4 months he'll get no popular votes, in 6 months he'll age 5 years more than his present age. In 8 months, he'll say ooops, sorry I must leave office. Next PM, please!

When I first watched SATC series, I didn't like it at all. Thought the characters were immoral and so unrefined. But as time goes by and I had no other English series to watch on my tv except this one, I began to observe the characters a bit more seriously and reliased that there're lots of truth to be learnt and pondered about. The characters may be mean to some male chauvinists but I think they help many women deal with life, outside of their professional image. They just don't tell men about it.
And in Japan, the J women certainly are already doing it secretly behind their men's back....just than some men are too naive to understand it..lol.
