read about this years ago. If the J-Man travelled all the way to Japan, don't you think he might have gone to Kyoto or Nara, which were the happening cities at the time? BUt if this story tweaks the bible-literalists, more power to it.

Once, I mind-farted and forgot about the "no-tipping" system in Taxis. A Kyoto cab driver was laughing and waving his hand back and forth when I tried to tip him. It was a wonderful experience. Honesty in pricing is the best system.

Japan at drift. But, the upper ten percent always knows where to put its money.

Posted in As things stand, Japan is adrift, anchored neither in East nor West and scoring badly on virtually all globalization criteria. Japan has been a mainly mute global player. at 12:07 PM JST - 25th August

'Got some news for you: Most of us don't know how to do it anywhere else, either.

Really, a great actor. You don't have to agree with the political subtext in "X" to see a fantastic leading man and talented director in action.

Why do most Japanese take their holidays at the same time - Bon, Golden Week and New Year?

As I understand it, that's when most companies allow people to take time off.
