[QUOTE="mickywicky, post: 196408"] Laetca you make Belgium sound as bad as the worst of London (commuting) and France (strikes) put together... Well I haven't been to BE, just through it several times, but I did live in Japan for a while in '98 and have gone back several times for holidays. Yep, commuters there look as depressed as they should be, unless they're playing around with their super-duper gadget phones. But... seeing how strict Tokyo has become with its myriad of smokers (there are entire town districts that have gone non-smoking, with the exception of bars), I'm a bit surprised at how he was just given a smoke. Ah well... his suicide has been noticed, unlike the tens of thousands that use more conventional methods. My hostmother's daughter hanged herself at home. Others like throwing themselves in front of trains, but they've installed barriers in most underground stations in Tokyo in 2007 so maybe that will stop. I think Japan's a great place for western foreigners who can actually speak the language well, myself I love it. But I wouldn't want to work there any longer than half a year or so. Life's too short to work so hard and all that :P [/QUOTE]
