Sorry but I don't see what's wrong with Hamada's passing on a supplier's complaint. I think that it is healthy action on his part, specially if it is true and verifyable. Again he knows his corporate culture. Had he anticipated such counter action, then; he should have never brought it up with his boss. Anyways; Ganbatte Hamada San.

Big deal. Go ahead and deny her entry into Japan. So what? The lady already been tried by a court of law in the U.S. She can not be punished twice for the same offence. much less in another country and another jurisdiction.Besides I see no reason for all the above nasty remarks.

There is no excuse for not attending an important speach such as this one.

There you have it; the root of the whole problem: "wars in Chechnya fueled by poverty, official corruption and police abuses." Long Live Russia.

@MarkSmith: Thank you Mark. I think your book is valuable. Even if one does not follow the same pattern in speaking Japanese with others, at least; one can understand what Japanese children are talking about. So; you came up with something new. Appreciate your efforts.

@Frungy:So, this beats me then too...what are the simpler terms for "mushi atsui"

The simpler word is: "Atsui" alone. You don´t need to say anything else.

Beautiful & romantic Picture.

Agree with Blue Tiger. Tiger wood should have thought of his babies too.

Too new, too few.

Yahoo should have accepted the Microsoft offer.

"Sales of the iPhone are not included in the survey", And Sony is .9% ahead of Apple's iPod. Does this really mean that Sony is ahead of Apple? I DON'T THINK So.

At the central gateway on Naka-dori connecting Marunouchi and Yurakucho. I like this location. It is easy to access. Ganbare Nihon.

Big fish eats small fish. Small fish cries: Foul.

That's not fair for the following reasons: -French don't tip because tip is included in the bill in France -Americans tip because tip is not included. So; we always add 15% or more. -Americans are not the worst complainers. It is just that standards are lower in Europe and elsewhere, and we will give you piece of our mind whenever necessary. Overall, I agree: Japanese are "Le Top" as we say in France. And Japanese girls can eat crackers in my bed. Ganbare Nihon.

Long-live one strong China.

Sad to read that but it is predictable news. Talk to me and I'll get you up there again. Jia Mata.
