Hey thats true, theres no Africans on this forum! Thinking of it, Ive never even seen anyone on the slopes who is afro-caribbean.

The Hawaiian cafe in Nagano City (on the road to zenkoji) does awesome burgers, best I've ever had.

I remember seeing one site (in Japanese) where they explained the salary system for teachers in SHS and IIRC the avarage salary was about 500man/year for a 35 year old. I saw a similar one for city office workers and the salary came to roughly the same amount.

I'd agree with that, thursday ^^.
At first I was into Clinton as she has been very active with online campaigning and I found it interesting from a professional point of view.
But seeing Clinton and Obama speak, I have been won over by Obama. He is a far superior speaker. I don't buy into his big message of 'change' though, I think its just hot air.
I know nothing about their politics however, and havent even seen McCain speak. But he looks very very grey and ordinary.

So a teacher in Japan with a masters should be on:
480man base (40man/month) +
240man bonuses ('6 months of bonus')
-------
720man
Overpaid or reasonable?

Just in time for the Chelsea game, nice.

Thanks. Well I've pretty much given up booze so just went for a meal that evening.
Its so good knowing that:
I Don't Ever Have To Study Japanese Again, Ever!

Nowt wrong with fast food! Kebabs can also be good food anyway, if you find a proper one like they have in London these days. Theres a great halal one near my mums, its famous and always packed, they do stews and the meat is top quality, plus fresh made wraps. About 700yen for a large chicken shish.

I reckon they will be silent, after all this pullava over it. If not, hell will be to pay I think in the media, and Man Utd will be vindicated.

Come on you guys, you are forgetting the greatest Japanese food of all...

OMG I passed. It is a miracle. I honestly thought I'd pick up about 45-50%. I think I got 62% on average, though only 50.5% on the reading test which I thought should fail me!?!

I call my wife 'Gus' as in 'Gusai'
Its a kind of oyaji word, very offensive, I love also how its very similar to 'kusai'.

I think other governments are more careful with their money.
The JET programme is an incredible waste of money, unless the true purpose is not teaching English but (for want of a better term) inter-breeding. They target fresh grads so there is probably something in that.
More likely it was just some guys idea 25 years ago and, Japan being Japan, no-one now stops to consider if it is actually worthwhile or not.

I looked at Rez HD on the xbox site, looks very weird.
-
Yes its totally different now.
When I was around 13 I lived opposite Highbury and used to go to loads of games, sometimes I'd pay (junior gunner discount) but most times I just went in when they opened the gate for early leavers (about 15mins into second half). The atmosphere was just amazing in the north bank back then, your ears would hurt from everyone chanting at the top of their voice. Football really lost something (as a live spectacle) when it went all seater - they really need to get standing room going again by limiting it to a small section behind the goal and actually policing it properly).

My kingdom for some decent sausages.

One thing I find interesting here is that Japanese are really force fed 'kaigai' from schools and TV. Flick through the channels and theres always at least one program on where some Japanese is in Hawaii or whatever and demonstrating their strange foriegn customs.
On the surface, you would think this makes for a very broadminded outlook towards foreigners, but actually all it does is reinforce the 'us and them' attitude.
On a different note, I have been told by a few different Japanese that 'gaijin' basically means 'oubeijin' (US/Europeans) and that other foreigners (e.g. SE Asians) are considered as something different. Not sure what they call those guys those.

I think its region free, but JP games are often in Japanese only. You can buy the singapore releases though for english version.
I dont know if they DVD player in it is region free or not, havent tried it.

I ended up having those beans for breakfast this morning. With some tea and no sugar they were just about passable as food. It was a bit like like having anko with macha.
Are most US baked beans that sweet?

Liverpool made up two points on man utd and chelski, only another 99 to go now...
-
Something like 'meat sauce' would be a beautiful name for it I think.
-
Ah actually I was only joking, tonight I'm having authentic Burmese curry - my friends wife is Burmese.
I just felt like someone should stick up for the regular guy who doesn't eat cavier on veal every night
...I do have some baked beans though, nasty too-sweet American ones from COSTCO, almost inedible.
Premiership - overseas??

Clearly we need less games so our national team can flourish.
They should simply reduce the number of teams in the premier league. Theres no money in those crappy Birmingham vs Wigan games anyway. They could cut 6 teams from the league and I think it would be better for it, it would be closer and more dramatic.
