Yes, taxia in Tokyo are not great in terms of being able to always find detination and driving skills, but don't think drivers are rude. For lack of English, HK is just as bad..... If Robson is so agitated by and extra 160 yen on the meter, then don't get a cab. Cheapskate!

As the thousands of lights twinkled gently, Yuka said: “Domestic violence can take many forms, including being verbally abused or having your emails read. If you are a victim, I’m sure you feel like you’re suffering alone, but you’re not. You can call for help.”
Classic stuff.

I like the description "fugitive stripper". Is being a stripper all she is famous for? And are we sure she is on the run? This will likely make a great movie - which tarento could we get to play Minako-chan?
