I applaud the fact that washi is now on the list.

Eddie Jones is the man. Japan's best coach ever!

Great comments from Ms Merkel. Are you watching LDP?

One hand on your bag and the other on the overhead strap. It`s the safest way to travel.

At least model the bra on women who need to wear one. Nekkopai.

My thoughts exactly. These pechapai girls remind me of battery chicken.

They'd better take a truckload of cash, booze and ciggies to grease the wheels.

The assailant is described as being in his 30s or early 40s, chubby, about 170 cms tall and was wearing a black jacket. He also wore glasses.

I'm getting an image of a certain stereotype here. Perhaps this guy lives with his parents too? And has an unsightly mole or two?

They certainly sound like three ne'er do wells.

You get the feeling you might be set upon by a pugnacious drunk. I tried it once, and never went back.”

Sounds like the trains in Sydney on Saturday nights.

A psuedo scrotum... Mmm!

Bob Sapp is one of my favorite celebrities on Japanese TV, and he conveys a positive image of the foreign community in Japan.

He comes across as intelligent, gracious and down to earth, and he seems to enjoy the different roles he plays.

Yep - That's how he comes across in his biography...** **

No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the general public.

Little boys with their little political games. This culture of political musical chairs only adds to the contempt that these people deservedly get. They must be so proud of themselves.

Wearing contacts for no medical purpose? No sympathy from me.

Patricia ー I'm with you all the way on that one.

I'm not surprised. Shinjuku ku is a bubbling cauldron of sleaze and crime.

Aah Adachi. The Bronx of Tokyo,

I always thought that the naughtiest Japanese place name was the Kanto Plain as it is said in Japanese.

The Kinki Kids have caused a lot of confusion...

Do the people hating on Saitama realize that by doing so they reveal their snobbish nature to all.

I love that Obama is getting taken to a 3-star, incredibly exclusive sushi shop, and Bush was just taken to an izakaya.

So you`re saying that Obama is a snob and they had to cater to his high tastes?

I`m watching the final show as I type. It seems like all the other Japanese comedians have joined Tamori for the last show. So many unfunny guys on stage together. If they were all to quickly follow Tamori into retirement, I for one would be absolutely delighted.

Is there any chance that the pilot was paid to fly the plane to Sri Lanka? Their government isn`t really a beacon of freedom, justice and transparency.

The woman in the article may not read this site, and I'm very sure she doesn't

Maria,

What makes you so sure?

I guess the idea to have all those female employees wear kimono wasn`t so effective.

If you are surprised why the Australian-American security relationship is so strong than go back and consult that history you referred to, the one where the US saved Aus from Imperial Japan.

The US saved Australia from Imperial Japan? When did that happen?

I would stand in front of bulldozers to protect that place. A small area in the middle of the world`s largest city containing independent businesses - all Tokyo residents should be proud of Golden Gai.

We will pay the debt of support we owe the world from the time of the tsunami

So are they now acknowledging that there was help from overseas?

Did he go there in the limo, wearing the Italian suit and the rolex, or was he told to leave them at home?

Little boys
