Sad but not surprising. Drivers on Route 6 Chiba and many other roads regularly run red lights, often after speeding up only to stop 100 mts further along, barge though pedestrians while turning. Drivers are so impolite hiding behind the wheel. I have been knocked off my bicycle only to see the driver speeding away for fear of loosing the "no claim bonus" I guess or make a report first.
Why do the police drive around whit the lights flashing? Is it to let the drivers know they are coming and start driving by the rules. Makes no sense if they were unaware they may behave and obey the road rules.
Its only getting worse as the population of older drivers increases and the young cant afford to get a licence and run a car.

I hope they don't use American beef. I don't like the taste of antibiotics, GM corn fed, and adrenalin from feed lots. Give me Japanese or Australian any day.

Thank you TEPCOs workers you have worked tirelessly to stabilise and contain the situation Great job letting the media in to dispel rumour. I trust the operators to do everything they can to resolve the problem in the safest possible way for the short and long term. I hope the media keeps to the facts and reasonable speculation and continues report in the future.

I feel safer and still prefer Japanese to Chinese food. I agree Japan has a long way to go before global perception changes.

If Japan dose not arrest him then is has lost all credibility. (I guess) Thaksin Shinawatra made a donation to a politician so he can try and gain his credibility. How can the people hit by the tsunami be supported by a criminal like this and now he supported by (must be) criminals. The rich get richer and the poor get the picture!

I don't think the warnings do much good any more, there is so much carp laying around, if there was a direct hit it would get picked up and do some real damage.

Why would any one want to visit Japan any way! Its boring, unhealthy- mildly to extremely contaminated with radiation, air & water pollution, over crowed, expensive, difficult to navigate, unhelpful people (language barrier), over priced organised tours are over priced and spend more time driving & eating than seeing(if)any attractions, toll roads, navigations systems in hire cars & maps etc difficult to interpret, natural beauty is rare or micro manged & often rundown (ie; Boso Peninsular) ,the weather is only good for 3 months out of 12, train stations look third world, public toilets dont have doors, I could go on but I am trying to guess the name of this weeks PM.
Posted in: Why do tourists continue to stay away from Japan, despite the fact that there are many places of interest far away from the crisis-affected areas? What should Japanese tourism officials do to promote Japan as a safe destination?

I am a Flyjin and proud of it! I saw more Japanese on the plane than foreigners heading out,so what were they? Then more foreigner heading back than Japanese.
Posted in: Why did those foreigners who decided to leave Japan in the aftermath of the March 11 disaster come in for so much derision from some people who labeled them with words like 'flyjin?'
