willilamsmith - agreed, although the Lehman folks are generally smart (not true for Citi).
But also, I think the most arrogant Japanese bankers I've ever met were from Nomura - but they were pretty sharp too. Maybe not such a bad fit...

The reality is that cityscape views in Tokyo are really only nice at night-time - when, in my view, they are spectacular.
Having a day-time wedding looking out at gray, old, nasty Tokyo just ain't that cool. So many nicer gardens and areas to get married at in Tokyo.

They must have had a record.
What's the deal with stun guns here? It's always reported so matter-of-factly. Is this not, like, a huge deal that they're shocking half to death 62 year old men??

A sensible pick who can keep Congress in line. I don't think he was chosen to beat off the GOP, I think he was chosen to beat back Pelosi, et al.

She looks like a man, and I'm not gay.

ChicagoGSB - I am near certain you cannot get a working visa for a short term contract assignment as a foreigner (with some exceptions - say, IT project work).
There is a huge distinction between administrative temp work and value-add consulting work - this distinction is not made in the article, presumably to bolster the fanciful claims made by the writer.
And... is it at all possible for JT to have articles written by people who aren't phenomenally biaised towards the subject?? How about a counter-point article written by an actual temp worker?
