Posted in: Japanese tourists share impressions of traveling abroad with limited English ability See in context
I see hospitality staff use faltering Japanese with tourists who then respond in fluent English. Other times they use poor Japanese with Korean or Chinese tourists who look quite offended. I say first use the country's language (in my case English) with tourists then adjust your language skills as needed during the conversation.

@ Graham DeShazo Wada Akiko is a living legend of Japan and the fact she is not popular for her looks is even more reason why I respect and appreciate her musical passion.

It is not a problem. Don't do anything as this is how I was meant to evolve; into to what I now think of as an alien. Give it a couple hundred thousand years my evolved ancestors will be fine.

I heard commentator say, "Make no mistake, Mongolians are surely Yokozunas." I think Hakuho and Harumafuji exude the character worthy of Yokozuna. Can't say the same for Asashyoru. Now if someone can tell me, who is the young sumo guy who throws a huge amount of salt for audience's appeal.
