Good to be able to sustain welfare obligation to the aging society. But lets wait until the business community make their reaction. There is a monetary reason why companies chose to hire 'arubaito' of course.

Posted in: Auto tie-ups tend to divorce See in context
I suppose most tie-up failures are caused by failed expectations on both ends. Both parties enter a partnership each of whom have its own self-serving motives kept secret from the other. On top of that, both sides expect the other to behave in a certain way in favor of their own interest. Everything starts going downhill from there. Like a real marriage...

Posted in: 3.11 - WHAT WERE YOU DOING THAT DAY? See in context
Marketing Communications Consultant, Filipino, Male, Tokyo
I was at the gym doing my routine laps in the pool. I felt like a goldfish in a bowl held by someone riding a mamachari. The gym staff posing like a lifeguard blew her whistle on me and asked me to get out of the pool and go home because they will close the gym. Going home is a story just like everyone else.

Im happy to see that many people on this thread have, in one way or another, found themselves. Japanese people are starting to believe that the one of the top reason why foreigners stay in Japan is because they couln't fit-in in their own country of birth.
