Indeed. Al Jazeera have become one of my fav channels this past year. Sorry BBC, but I get my news fix elsewhere now!!!
The economy in Japan is pretty mucked up at the moment. The Yen is at an all time low compared to our dollar at the moment. I know my country we're giving the Japanese shit for whaling in our waters earlier this year, but c'mon, they have to feed their population. Even if it means butchering our marine wildlife. lolz
A lot of Japanese are also migrating to Australia. I met a few youngins who had taken the plunge down under because they couldn't find jobs back home. Now these college graduates are working full time at McDonalds. They said they didn't mind because it gave them a chance to learn English.
They we're very humble people. Very shy and reserved but after a few brewskies....... BANZAAAIIIII!!!!!!!!
