In the political system of Japan, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important, groups: the right wing extremists who engages in construction business (typically demolition company as their legal business), and the farmers in the courtsides who has vey strong lobbying power. I believe average Japanese people…

Those Saitama cops should get trained with the Fourth Investigation Unit of the Osaka Police Department (aka- the Anti-organized crime unit).

Hu Jintao is , of course, the political leader of one of the world’s most powerful countries. If any serious discussion is possible, then Hu and students should be able to discuss both countries’ current policies.

China today is the land of infinite opportunities, free of depression. China probably have…

Hu and Japanese students will talk about Confucian sense of value (e.g. HARMONY). They will probably also talk about Japanese sense of value – physical suicide – and Chinese – cultural suicide. I understand their unique sense of death with dignity, but please do not involve anyone except Han and…

In fact, this restaurant is a tourist place. Locals usually do not eat at this place. Their neighbor (Dotonbori Street) is rather famous for tako-yaki and ramen. I personally like restaurants along the Suo-machi street (周防町筋) in Shinsaibashi. I believe Nova’s oldest school used to be on the Suomachi.

No problem. I will go to Wakayama when I want to see giant pandas in Japan. They have six giant pandas there. I believe the panda place (白浜パンダ館) is directly operated by the Chengdu Panda Center.

It appears the owner’s son do not want to continue retiring daddy’s business. I wonder why they don’t sell the business to a third person to continue the restaurant operations.

When Chinese court accepts cases based on tortious conducts outside China (Cafferty’s alleged defamation?), US courts should also accept cases from outside the US. To be fair, Tibetans and others who have claims against Chinese entities should be able to file lawsuits in California using the CA long-arm statute. Unlike…

Wow, Chinese care so much about GDP, wages, public education, scientific research, infant mortality, life expectancy, and so on. In the end, they might make Tibetan people as happy as Japanese salarymen who are the happiest people in the world. Without China’s help, Tibetans will be as miserable as South…

The song goes "Biwako ohoonseeeen......" for Kansai locals. Mmm, I sometimes cannot recognize old posters in different names.
