    You can say that again. Not only that, but you can be born in Japan, do all your schooling there, be totally fluent in the language and culture, get a job, and you still don't have a right to citizenship. Like this woman.

    It's a very interesting and informative watch as well as being amusing given how tall she is. The fates really threw her a basket of curve balls.

    I remember one news story from a few years ago. A Japanese couple threw their daughter off the top of their apartment block because she had formed a relationship with a foreigner.

    Ireland is scarcly better. I rented some land in Connemara to someone from a different part of Connemara. Locals got upset at the foreigner in their midsts and put several dogs over the fence, which then went and attacked his sheep and lambs. Many were torn to pieces yet were still alive and he had to euthanase them. 54 sheep and lambs were slaughtered.

    Apparently ( or so I've heard a good few times) other nations in the region ( Chinese , Koreans etc ) view Japanese as quite snobby, they also view them as extremely inflexible business wise

    Heard westerners say it's far easier do business with Chinese than Japanese as the Japanese are so rigidly formal , I guess standards are higher in Japan than china when it comes to product's

    Are the Japanese the Swiss of the far east ?
