  1. I don’t really find it annoying any more. The truth is I sat down and made some thinking one day. I speak to them in Japanese because I wana practice my Japanese, so samewise if someone speaks to me in English is most probably because he thinks that is a good opportunity for him to practice his English. Aeon, Nova e.t.c are charging these people way too much money for their crappy quality of lessons they give. I think that someone that takes these lessons want at least to check if he is actually learning or not as I wana check if I can express my self in Japanese. What is more important to me now is if the answer that I take back in Japanese or English makes me feel that the person I addressed the question to understood what I was asking. I also don’t ever forget the time that my Japanese was crappy; I wonder how I sounded back then sometimes.

    As they say, “practice makes better” and this works both ways. ;\)

  2. The quick reply option is really nice idea, but to be honest I don’t think I like the black frame that much. I think it is not a nice combination with the navy blue color of your logo and avatar.

    Do you have the option to pick a pattern instead of a single color for the frame?

    I think the next big step would be to make it look a bit of 3D, something like the frames that win XP have.

  3. It was a really hard day for me today. I haven`t slept for 2 nights in the row because I was preparing a presentation for my Masters thesis. I had a complete assh-all guy that was not even e professor asking me stupid questions. mad.gif I was tired and bad tempered when I finally arrived home. \:\(

    And then, suddenly my luck changed... eek.gif

    Thanks a lot guys, you really know how to make ones day!!!!! clap.gif

  4. This is a site I find very useful because I also travel a lot with my car. You can calculate the tolls you need from one IC to another and also gives you alternative roots. Unfortunately is only in Japanese.

    As far as for the Kanetsu expressway I also prefer to drive to Tokorozawa IC and get on there. It is usually really packed from Nerima-Tokorozawa. Also when I get on the highway before 6 in the morning is not that bad.

  5. I asked a Japanese friend about the doors. It is considered to be good manners towards the client. In limousines, the client never opens the door. The driver must get out and open/close the door for the client to come in/out. Same wise in taxis is considered rude for the client to open the door by himself. Since the driver cannot stop in the middle of the traffic to get out and open the door and besides that many people get on the cab in one day, they made the doors automatic to make a compromise. So that the driver can still open the door, without having to move from his seat all the time and still be able to give the least of the services to the client by opening the door for him.

  6. It depends on the brand. Japanese beer doesn`t have much difference than any super-market. Imported beer is cheaper but not significantly, around 100 yen for 6 pack. They have very good offers from time to time and if you are lucky you can buy the 24 pack for half price. I usually buy bottled water there because their price is really cheap.

    For the 1 1/5 liter bottle that you find it 200 yen at the combini you pay there 126. eek.gif
