Just something my father n law who is 79 did, well the other day when the typhoon hit, he left the house around noon, well at around 22:00 he still had not returned and we were getting worried( he cancelled his cell phone recently) so we call the police to see if they can put out a apb, however he returned by taxi, but what had happened was he hit a guard rail, tire blew out, no spare so he walks to a combi, calls a cab returns home, BUT forgot where he left the car! So we check the taxi receipt call them to ask where they picked my father n law up, call the insurance company to have the car towed to a repair garage, My Father n law is fine, but just a story of the elder driving, I mean lucky it was a guard rail and not a person or another car..

and with all the US bases here in Japan, if China did anything in a way to strike Japan, wouldnt the US bases be the prime targets?? DUH.. You think China would leave the US Bases alone and only hit Japanese Bases,, When I was at Yokosuka, the Japanese had a base about 3 minutes walk away, think anything hitting that place would not effect Yoko?

I remember in that Movie Crocodile Dundee, when he was asked about the Aborigenies claim to New Zealand territory, he said they don't claim it, they belong to it, who's gonna care after 1000 years? They will be gone and the Land it will still be here! Nice Saying Mate!

again where I work, not one Chinese or Korean cared about squat, they are here to make money and return home,, they don't give a rats ass about some rocks, a island.. one Chinese asked me(I am American, Texas Mexican) and know about land being taken, but he asked me, which do I like more Japan or China? I said both, I am a guest to both nations when I visit, though Japan is my home now, I forget the past, and live for the future, I have four LOVELY children half Japaneses/Mexican Americans, and what happened in the past has no effect on their or our lives.. We are happy why can't the world be??

They dont need to sign a pact, SHOOT how many S. Koreans are in Japan now alone there is enough to supply any intelligence between each country and If S. Korea doesnt trust Japan, then whats up with all these S. Koreans Groups and Stars coming to Japan to make it BIG??? if you dont trust Japan, then leave or dont come.

Posted in: Job interviews - 'Fools using a foolish method to pick fools' See in context
I go to interviews with a clear mind, I am 48 and ex manager for positions of Maintenance, Facility, Management, however during the interview the person who is giving such, will ask me if I am capable of taking orders from someone younger then me, I say of course, pride is something but it is not suitable for ones wallet.
I served in the Marines, lived here 25 years, speak 3 languages, have many traits, so my resume looks like a book, the reason I am unemployed with a good firm is my last company went Bankrupt, so my position was how was it said? Oh Redundent.. so now I am working part time because no one wants a 48 year old who knows a lot of the Japanese Business since because again they think I am to well trained, experienced..
Its funny,, you have to much training.. or at a interview for Burger King,, why dont you start your own company?? But when you have two children, bills to pay, food to buy.. I just want a decent JOB!!

This is a so much BS.. I mean I have lived here in Japan for 24 years and I know many many people, my wife knows many people, my co workers know many people, the point is NO ONE HAS ever mentioned OH I KNOW THIS PERSON WHO WON THE JUMBO!!! and its funny, they shoot the numbers on some date, but they already know the number of winners, HOW???
Then the thing about no showing the winners or exposing them,, they say its dangerous,, COME ON!!! in the US where guns are everywhere(Im from Texas) and you can be sure if someone wanted to make a hit on a EXPOSED WINNER of MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, they would, its just there are NO BIG WINNERS!!!
Once my company has some money for our End of the year party JY100,000.-, however we thought to buy this amount in tickets to maybe win more enabling us to make a overseas trip for the company end of the year party, but NOPE we only won GET THIS!!!! J¥50,000
I never buy tickets, hell give me your money and I will return half,, better then this rip off. Tezbo
