I'm french and I can tell you that the TGV is maybe a little faster but its a lot less comfortable than the shinkansen ! There s no chance I can stretch my leg in a TGV, I can easily do it in a Shikansen. Just for that I prefer the Shinkansen to the TGV. ^^

She looks very natural on this picture, thats nice, very very nice.

Thats all about what wedding is in Japan, better being single.

Table tennis too became industrial ! Nice picture by the way

Awesome picture

japan needs more public bins, though. there are basically NONE. if it wasn't for convenience stores there would be nowhere to dispose of rubbish at all

totally agree, most of the time I had to keep my garbage on me a whole day before fiding where to trash them during my last visit here -_-

I'm living in Paris and since the ban of tabacco in public places, bars, cafe etc. you can find cigarette butts (tons of it) in front of all those places. I just hate smokers for this... >_< There are trash bins everywhere in this city!

We just have to believe that the chance of being hit by missile debris is smaller than getting hit by a car.

The thing is that the chance of being hit by a car in Japan is quite high xD

Roissy is not Paris at all but whatever.

Paris is, like many others, quite a dirty town, some places are very old and damaged but still... Paris is a very nice city.

This guy is just incredible, he s as unlucky than lucky. A real paradox.

Why is there no "e" in Jun?

Because Jun is a japanese first name and can be written with kanji, June can't.

"do-what-your-boyfriend-want-you-to-do" society, just forget a word :p

Well I understand how these "o hitori sama" feel, its a real social problem for J women in this do-what-your-boyfriend-want-you-to. But still I think some of these women are just selfish or hypocritical.

But sometime there s no other choice but to go around alone and just have your fun doing what you wanna do. Thats just a pity that your friends/partner can't make some agreement to share good times.

Well I bet it depends of people, I don't have much fun or even not at all, being alone.

I would love to make her laugh anytime :)

Actually we had 3 nice pictures this month. Paper butterfly (which has been withdrawn), Discover and now this one :) I hope it will continue or, even, there ll be more of those pictures :)

Great picture! Come back home safely!

They should have ask Ebi-chan to be an ambassador of cuteness!

That's a fact that japanese can't spell more than a few words in english. During my last trip I had the chance to "really" talk with only ten or so japanese and I remember those who were most talking did it in... french. Which really surprised me. I think many countries, even big ones, doesn't speak english much. I'll take France, Italy and Spain as an example... Anyway I don't think Japan is isolating itself from outside, the example of the language classes is not good from my point of view. Students just know how bad are their teachers and prefer to learn the languages via penpals/private schools.

Butterflies have a great lifestyle. Ever seen a butterfly that looked like it was in a hurry?

Yeah and "she" almost cut me in half ahah

And why are their moth cousins so ugly?

Thats how "Butterflies" become after living too long in "night life". Full of fur and ugly.

Those are real butterflies :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idea_leuconoe Great picture !

cadmium : no he's actually drawing one on a golf super hero. Must be so exciting !

Weird, they didn't gave the age of Nao Matsushita. The editor must be a beginner!

I googled her and she looks lots more asian type on usual pictures. Maybe because of her short haircut. Anyway this picture is good and kind of funny :)

Nice shot, it looks like Tanaka put his weight on the air. Litteraly levitating in the air ^^

@JackHobbs : 1.5% to be precise ^^ Well you can find misbehaving people in every country, most are just not well informed of what to do but... well, even natives are badly behave !

So just let me laugh.

Well, it seems the guy had his hand on her shoulder to "help her" bow ...

Well she could have made a great move and finished him with a Ippon !

Seriously I wonder how those recruiters would manage with european students. I heard so many incredible interview stories here ^^ Those two exemples just looks like common things... J companies, it's (really) time to change.

Ford, GM, Chrysler skipping Tokyo auto show

Japanese automakers Nissan Motor Co and Mitsubishi Motors Corp are not at the Detroit show

looks like boys sulking, maybe they had some argue? ^^ Anyway as you said, japanese buy japanese cars.

Sarge : hehe good one

Unklesam : you guy really have a problem with Japan !

A couple years a go a saw an "invisibility cloak" made by japanese scientists, but I think the device was not working with the same kind of process. It was quite impressive thought.

Still I think this kind of technology is just too dangerous. And anyway, what is the point of being invisible? See and not being seen? Thats called spying!

I only see bad uses for this kind of device.

neverknow2 : I'm sure its because most of the JT readers come from States. I don't think China money will ever be the common currency, maybe Yen could or Euro.

Back to the topic ,I must admit that's an original way to promote a place for tourism !

Great Shot, I agree with Mayuki-san. Japan has so many beautifull pictures to offer, please share more of them!

Maybe they bought the minibike with the money they robed with the previous cases. Like it's going, they ll get caught in a luxurious car...
