Comparing Japan and the World always ends in, comparing Japan and America.
As from May 1945 peace has come down on Europe, where once were so many wars. Many of our countries are united into the...
Never lived in Japan Obeika,
But I am afraid you are absolute right. We had Chinese and a few Indonesians at our school in Malang, East-Java, but not one Japanese girl or boy. The Japanese children...

Isn't it strange that more Japanese fear living next to an homosexual or somebody who has AIDS than a criminal ?
Great! That is hitting the nail on the head. Looks like that so...

I lived 9 years in...

Some people talk for hours over the phone to tell you how and why they feel unhappy or happy or whatever. I find writing the best...
