My wife's company president is a grad of Manchester, and boy does it make a difference!
He is capable of taking private Japanese language lessons for 3 years without actually improving; trying to eliminate face-to-face sales/client meetings (in Japan!!!!); proposing flaky motivational retreats that people refuse to participate in; giving speeches that his secretary has written; messing up the product lineup; and leaving the company after 3 years for another one that pays more for him to accomplish nothing.

That's what I like about Tokyo. The constant change, and the ability of residents to live with impermanence.
That's life. And that's exactly what makes life worth living.

Islam needs more tolerance. Blasphemy is the exact opposite of what should be regulated.

ashika1009, with engines these days, you don't have to worry about wear and tear from simply turning off and on at traffic lights. Idling is actually worse for the engine.

Yelnats, apparently Japanese were doing the job. So no worries about sticking out.

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!

Toecutter, you aren't the only one. I was wondering what "exceeding classy" means. Going above and beyond the call of classy?
And how does Aponte "find himself against his own odds?"
And this classic: "is both breathtaking, refreshing and shocking" I mean, I thought "both" meant only 2 things.
And that statement about Tokyo having migrants from "the rest of Asia over the centuries."
I have yet to read about any history book supporting this "fact."
And one does not "prize" oneself, as in the first paragraph, one "prides" oneself, as the reviewer writes near the end.
It's almost as if Chuck, here, was writing a bad post... like me...

When I was 12 I saw a guy die in a hang gliding accident. Got caught by a downward gust headfirst into a boulder. His helmet easily cracked open like a watermelon, as did his head. It's a beautiful, dangerous sport. No thanks, I have kids.
RIP

Deep stuff. It's been downhill ever since Reservoir Dogs, and he hit rock bottom long ago. Ergo..."deep," and still digging.

Incredible performance. Give him a 1 yr contract with the Yanks, and then let him finish out in Japan.

They're buying the BS.
Here's an example of what happens: An old high school friend recently got into this and posted her video on her Facebook page. Nobody commented directly on her page (of course, that's Facebook for you), however, every single guy I talked to that had seen her video had nothing but negative thoughts about it. Most said something along the lines of it being unbelievably stupid that she thought imitating strippers was "cool," or "sexy," and how it's just more evidence of the dumbing down of what constitutes dance, or sport, or even fitness, for that matter. People buy into any crap these days as long as it's pushed to them through the right messenger, be it websites, magazines, or the boob tube.
Frankly, I agreed with them. It's no less stupid than middle class white men imitating like inner city gangsters. They'll defend themselves by saying they like the "music."
