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.

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...

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.

that's why for the past 12 years, i never thought of giving up my blackberry.

"cool Japan"...an oxymoron
