You can't ask for your job back, but make the company look bad in public. Don't know which country this would work in... Apart from that not enough information to know who is right... Leaving in 2015, back in 2016... ?

I wish they had decided so earlier. I had to apply 2 weeks ago and walking into, sorry I mean pushing myself into the overcrowded immigration office was like a bad dream. It's been 2 weeks so I guess I made it out alive, but even though most were wearing masks there was a lot of suspicious coughing going on.... Great.

I hope everybody blaming her knows that there is no sick leave in Japan. People have to go to work even though they are sick. And taking vacation is also not an option for most people due to pressure from colleagues and superiors.

If anybody is to blame it is Japan's leadership (not just the current one) for not implementing rules that protect the workforce.

ehhh, so what about foreign residents ?

No mentioning of us. So when I leave Japan for business travel (not china) and I cough during immigration when returning ... I will be declined entry and then what?

I hope its just the lack of reporting the details.

There we go again. Most of the people here screaming about that people older then xx years shouldn't be allowed to drive... Do something and give them alternatives. Cars are necessary in Japan, so autonomous driving or affordable taxis in rural areas could help.

Also checking on older driver's ability to drive more frequently and thoroughly should help prevent such accidents. Just generally assuming every 80 year old is a bad driver is stupid. If we need to generalize then I would say every kei truck driver is a bad driver because they don't care about driving very much... just saying.

Why is nobody asking the obvious thing? "Which ID?"

Japanese do not have an ID. They could refer to the driver's license and probably most of the people getting gasoline will have one, but there are things others than cars that need gasoline.

I would live there. I love nature and hate people ;)

There are no technical jobs though... and that is the reason why most jung people leave for the bigger cities. Even if the birth rate goes up, they would not stay there. Fundamental problem.

I'm a bit irritated that 29% don't even know if they are paid. Is this part of the Japanese culture that you don't care about such things? When I asked questions about income tax etc. not even the people in charge could answer me some simple questions...

well anyway, I work for a medium sized Japanese engineering company and I actually get paid 100% because I report my overtime. There is even an extension to the limit when necessary. Seeing the figures I can guess that my colleagues report only half of their overtime if not less.

Getting paid is fine but it doesn't really compensate for the loss of free time and health issues you get by working till 10 pm every day. I was thinking about possibilities to minimize my workload... but apparently the only solution is to leave this workaholic country for good.

I'm working for a company that has way to less workers to get the job done. Maybe they are calculating by 16h work time a day/worker, but it is impossible to meet the deadlines without doing overtime. Though I admit the working pace of some colleagues is... well it could be better. Time management is apparently non existent.

One thing that annoys me are unnecessary meetings held after regular working hours...

Service Overtime is forbidden (computer log off times are compared to your working hours report) so at least I have no problem writing down every minute :)

In other countries those overhead and sideboard menus are usual. There are not menus at the counter. Since I'm used to it I make up my mind before stepping up to the counter... which might have confused a few japanese in the past :)

Since I was nearly part of such an accident I keep my distance from horses. They might be magnificent animals and I can understand that people like them, but they freak out about tiny things, for example orange plastic bags...

In Shinichi Kuroki's world some mysterious natural phenomenal must have contaminated all the rubble with something (not cesium) that emits gamma rays... way to go Shinichi Kuroki :) He probably never heard of Fukushima or radiation before, got some numbers on his desk and even managed to misread them.

As many suggested, the release of the plant should still be 10million bq/h or more.

will you loose your job in japan when you hit someone with your car, AND NOT run away? Living here for half a year I get this feeling...

make skirts longer or let them wear trousers... -the end

no seriousley... in some places the skirts are way to short... and if the girls are not kids anymore I can understand why men cant help but looking at them. Taking pictures is something else though...

wo will buy a camera thats worse than a normal reflex camera and costs way more? If you want as small camera get a small camera, if you want professional fotos get a normal reflex, and if you need both your still better of (cheaper) buying both than this one...

it's the womens fault...crystal clear... their names and addresses should be made public... ;)

no bodybuilders

:) I think the 3 girls just stole the floating tire of the person whos drowning in the middle of it... :D

well I can see the fun, if your a teenager thats probably the best place to be in the summer (appart from a nice clean beach (which are rare))... the thing is, I dont see any male teenagers... just kids and old or middle aged men.......................

hmm okay next bike trip goes to mogami. tried one time but underestimated the mountains after naruko :)

they seem to have fun even though its just water sprinkling... I love this culture, you could never see something like that in the western culture :)

I found a cute one!!! upper left wearing the white hat... oh wait, she seems to be japanese...

no miss france would were a whore dress to a world wide event... this dress is just a thread to everyone who likes japanese traditional dresses.

maybe they let her wear a skirt... this would make the whole thing 80% less provocative...

so the movie is just plain nonsense... :*)

the earth will end today if they dont turn the aircon on soon.... :)

jodan jodan, I dont epect much new from this movie... the day after tomorrow had an typical hollywood happy end and so will 2012... they wont risk a movie without an happy end...

yeah water with bad taste... do you get 100yen per can or do you actually have to pay for it?!?! :o)

a friend is there at the moment.... I hope he enjoys his 5万円　trip.

“I need to get a girlfriend”

well if he won, its sure he wont get a girlfriend the next 10 years until he lost the weight gained by one year free burger..... G

hmm even if youre such a sunnyboy that the sun shines out of your ***, it wont reach the solarcell of your cellphone in the pocket ;D Nice idea but probably useless for the normal person.

行きたい！ why has it to be so far away :(

okay just 300 km, but moneywise it is quite far

hm maybe he was replying to me. okay I hink ill avoid the "expierence" then and head somewhere else. Seems to be not the place where you can have fun without second thoughts.
