I know the place well and try to eat there every (increasingly rare) visit to Akihabara.

Look at a parking lot for GM or Ford workers and ask what the main reason why U.S. car sales are so low among the people who build them. The average age of an automobile in the United States is now at an all-time record of 10.8 years. 

I have my wife's family name on my JDL and kokusai shomeisho. It will be on my Japanese passport when I trade in the blue one two years from now - and then I'll be able to vote. How many countries let tourists vote in local elections? Until one makes the commitment one is just passing through, regardless of how long the passing takes.

Two in this household and they work all the time - every time. Don't care a whit about "coolness". I just want a good phone that works. "Cool" has no value where I am, add "Whip" and get fat.
