mumbojumbo

Are they still there - I couldn't get a response

Thats pretty much the way it goes. Ridiculously high rates even if you just call it for a very short time. I thought I heard they were trying to pass laws on that though so it couldn't be done?

I've had a few and seen a few Japanese deal with them as well. Ultra polite, didn't just tell them to bugger off. Result? They were talking and listening to sales talk for 5 mins or so. I was there saying like just tell them to bugger off will ya? A sales call late in the evening/night certainly is not on.

No idea how reliable it was but I read that Msoft were not releasing numbers for online users in Japan. Rumor has it it is in the "low thousands". Poor effort.

Admirable the way every one in Japan sticks to the garbage rules and separartes everything out. I like that.

On my list too, seems like a good place to adventure out into. Slow - what do you mean by "old time Bangkok"?

Never been to one They look and sound cool tho'

I had a bag missing for 24 hours with JAL. The bag didn't get the same connection I did, they weren't keen on telling me where it went. Got it back ok in the end.

sunrise how do you feel about people downloading your work from the internet without "paying" you for it? Are you ok with that?

Reading fairly good things about it.

When does you office "officially" put the aircon on. Mine is July 1st

She never takes it all off

Officially 2, I usually get Friday afternoons off too

Same problem everywhere, but definitely a big factor here

Tennis is a bit rubbish isn't it - watching it that is. What other sports are crap to watch? I'll start... - cricket - baseball

My gfs car was broken into while she was in a shop a while back. Bag stolen, luckily not much of value in it.

All year?>

Hmmm. You should always lock your door as a habit.

They get by - thats it. They are usually the ones with no Japanese friends, almost not living in Japan but in some gaijin-exclusive building/area --- missing out on most of the experience of living in Japan.

The difficulty of relationships makes them all the more fun (?) and ultimately rewarding when you get that successful one.

db, the humidity this year is much less than normal I reckon. It has been very "mild" this year so far...

1500? Poor you....

Oh OK, you complete moron. Go back into hibernation will ya?

You sound very happy there Markie - never heard of them, but looking forward to taking a peek, er, listen.
