    how do you justify calling somebody your 'subordinate?' Kind of arrogant, ne!
    I didn't call them my 'subjects'! lol.gif

    I understand that you never have anyone working for you but there is nothing arrogant about it. I hire/train them (so that they can be useful with their expansive LL.B. or MBAs) and decide how much they get paid and give them advice about how to advance in their career.

    If they think I am off my trolley (which is entirely possible of course), they would try to persuade (but never argue with) me or head for the highway.

    You can see I am in a good mood today, taking the trouble to explain this to you.

    I think that's one of the best posts on this thread.
    I was there a few weeks ago and, frankly, not very keen on going back to join a melee of noisy silly drunken opinionated (usually about how silly the Japanese are and how things are better done in Australia!) Aussies. The pattering was non-stop whether in the queue or in the gondola!

    Sure, the Koreans are a haughty bunch but they normally keep to themselves and don't cause a scene.

    Some of the Chineses (maybe Hong Kongers?) are amazing. They have their domestic maids with them on a ski trip!

    She has worked and travelled all over the world and lived about 5 years of her life outside of Japan. Yet she still finds western drunken behaviour to be uncomfortable. I put this down to being a cultural difference
    You sound like this is a 'Japanese' problem.

    Is anyone here 'comfortable' or happy with (regardless of culture) drunken behaviours?
  4. I went through that too!

     

    My record was unblemished for the last three years and if that's was what I had to go through, I can't imagine the punishment for those who have had points deducted (in different class)! Did anyone enjoy the video? lol.gif

    I don't have to worry. Co. pays all.

    The fact that you use your international licence is an offence and therefore render the insurance void. If anything happens to you while driving, you will be uninsured and will be personally liable (without limit) to compensate the victims and pay for property damages as well as going to jail.
