  'Japan is probably the most set up to accommodate people who don't speak the local language'.

  ... yeah, until you leave the city! I've lived in the countryside, as well as the big city, and let me tell you things are VERY different out there...

  I particularly love the ones that stop randomly when they're in front of you - especially when it's at the ticket gate of a station!

  What happened to having a little national pride? These men fought for our beautiful country and our people.

  It's a tricky one, but if it causes this much of a problem to Japan's neighbours then maybe the politicians should reconsider visiting the shrine? We're in a time where maximum cooperation from our allies is imperative!

  I have read literally hundreds of articles on this very topic over the years and they all lead me to the same conclusion - you can't engage in constructive dialogue with a totally isolated regime that is stuck in the 50s.

  It's simple. McDonald's has adapted to various pressures worldwide, with things like introducing McCafe to battle Starbucks and sandwich menus to battle Subway. McDonald's in Japan is still very 80s - time for a makeover!

  @SamuraiBlue

  Agree 100% - that's the root of the problem and the entire system needs an overhaul.

  Having studied at both Japanese universities and universities abroad, I couldn't help but feel that the style of teaching here in Japan was more like being Ina high school. People were asleep at the back of the class and it's not an environment where critical thinking is encouraged (or promoted). At my university back home, 30% of my course marks were based on active participation. One of my tutors once stated "If I don't know you by name by the end of the course, you fail".

  Critical thinking needs to be encouraged from a young age. It was a real eye-opener to me seeing almost every be completely indifferent to points raised by the lecturer.

  This single shows that they understand what works abroad. This is a guaranteed hit, no doubt.

  lol WHAT HAS JAPAN DONE TO THEM?! Oh sorry, I wasn't aware that "defensive measures" (in response to nuclear threats) were seen as "provocative".

  The guy's off his trolley...!
