Posted in: Japanese restaurants in New York introduce ban on tipping See in context

I come from a "tipping" country but I really feel relieved here in Japan that there is no tipping. I got so embarrassed and offended in US when I was shouted for undertipping. The percentage in my country is lower and the service was horrible which at least in my country gives me the right to lower the tip. Its so rude to be shouted by the waiter like you haven't paid.

Posted in: Why do Japanese people wear surgical masks? It’s not always for health reasons See in context

After coming to Japan and get used to see so many people wear mask, my only question is how come its always white. Since it has obviously became almost like an accessory to people here, I can't understand how can no one came up with the idea to have them in different colors. Or even in different designs on them. If it already exists then I can't understand why it hasn't become so popular yet. Especially in a society that except of the salary man I've seen them wearing every possible color combination with no hesitation.

I am admiring that the japanese are supporting their own products so much. Like the cars too. They do are quality products though.

Posted in: Proposal to triple taxes on K-cars raises concerns among rural drivers See in context

I don't understand the people that say its not fair for the white plate car owners and that the k cars should pay more. Is there someone preventing you for buying a k car too? If you feel unfair get a k car to have the same benefits. But no you want the extra ompf in power, size, luxury isn't it? Well guess what the k car owner likes it too but he/she decided to compomise for the tax saves. So its the insane taxes on white plate cars you should demand to be lower in order to be fair. Untill then stop winning enjoy your car and pay your taxes otherwise get a k car too.

Posted in: Japan's luxury fruit masters grow money on trees See in context

I understand it doesn't worth the price though from my experience it does tastes better. On the other hand is it normal to give millions ¥ to get a diamond ring? Come on its just a rock that shines and you can't even eat it like the melon.
