Want to complain? Go to Montreal and try to take the Metro. Then come back and take the train here. No comparison. It's sad to say, but the Japanese image of foreign barbarians is probably based on some tourists' experience in my home town. People don't even bother lining up!

Hahaha. Wow. You wrote that like you almost believed it!!! Nice one!

medievaltimes,

it would be nice if Japan would grow up a bit.

Can you think of one country that acts "maturely?"

Spending for supercomputer development to be drastically curtailed

I just want to say that this is entirely true. I will be going with the new iMac instead of the Pro.

What kind of 53 yr old is into playing the kiddie game of drug smuggler?

Leave her name backwards. She's an idiot and deserves that slap in the face.
