I don't think this means we can't trust him to put out fires. I think he was doing a thorough job as BBLeo has pointed out. And he was off duty. 10/10 for effort. lol

I have been told that they are now being called "fashion hotels". This is in an effort to make them more...er...fashionable. Also has something to do with the range of "fashionable" costumes available at some of these places.
I think it would be a good idea to have a souvenir shop where the young ladies could buy fashion accessories like handbags...or just hire them until next time

i think that we should always be looking for practical ways to keep on decreasing the number of road deaths every year. the compulsory use of seatbelts for all passengers is a good start and in a coutry with low speed-limits this should save many lives. I am sure that if the two passengers in the back of the vehicle were wearing seatbelts then this tragedy could have be avoided. i think that the two adults in this vehicle are definately responsible for the death of this poor child.
drivers in japan definitely need to be more responsible. i see so many people with kids and pets jumping around in the car. even if you are a "careful" driver you cannot trust everyone else to be so. i know that in some countries (and i am not sure about japan) it is the responsibility of the driver to make sure that everyone is wearing a seatbelt before driving anywhere. failure to do so is a punishible offence. in some cases the driver can be criminally charged for any deaths resulting from his negligence.
also, i have even seen people driving around with sunglasses on...at night! why? why? oh, why is this necessary? and drivers with the seat so far back they can hardly see over the steering wheel? again - why? all the tv/dvd screens are surely a distraction to the driver as well.
come on guys...just try thinking about what you're doing occasionally.

Bring back the government of racist murderers and terrorists who kidnapped and tortured civilians who were fighting for basic human rights. What a great idea! As a "bushlover" I would think that you would be in favor of democracy - that precious ideal of which america claims to be the greatest example and defender of.
bushlover, this is possibly one of the stupidest things I have ever seen posted here. What makes you say this? Any reasons at all?

agreed 100%. guess that's why they feel the need to wear those ridiculous face masks.
who cares? i think they just ignorant - even the adults most of the time. just shout back "nihon-jin! nihon-jin!" - get's a laugh sometimes.
yeah, this i found surprising when i arrived here. how can a country that is apparently so concerned with health as well as good manners not have some kind of smoking regulations for restaurants?
