What did the guy actually wind up paying? Still think the it was the guys own fault though. I mean the driver totally set him up and then like a total fool he turned himself in. Duh.... Pretty informative.

It notes to speak Japanese. Why not give them a call to ask and leave a comment here with their reply? Hi Turner,

]]> Comment on The Home of Japan’s Best Burger - Awajishima!? by RMK http://www.stippy.com/japan-eating-and-drinking/awajishima-burger/#comment-81023 RMK Wed, 01 Oct 2008 10:53:35 +0000 http://www.stippy.com/?p=898#comment-81023 Sounds definitely pretty oishii! I'm not a big fan of Kua’aina, which I find quite common. I recommand instead the "Great Burger", near Harajuku : http://r.tabelog.com/tokyo/rstdtl/13042654/ Lots of varieties (lamb burger, gorgonzola), big but NOT too big, and super tasty!

I can't believe, how we, as supposed to be human beings are reacting to an incident that doesn't even concern us. So much negativity!!! I have lived and worked in Japan for 5 years, I've seen some weird behaviour from Gaijin and Japanese. We are not perfect, we are simply human!! I do remember how a taxi driver left my partner for dead, after a hit and run, $200,000 USD later, he had to be fixed with a new titanium hip, after being left in a Japanese hospital for more than a year, imagine going through that crap. The police didn't even bother looking for the taxi driver. The real truth is that the Japanese are tired of us gaijin and would be much happier if we all just left Japan, that's why they're "cleaning" up the clubs and streets. Eg when you're walking along minding your own business, next thing your approached by police and if you don't have your gaijin card you'll end up at the cop shop or possibly jail with no phone call, so nobody knows where you are, or that you really need your passport to get you out of the slammer, kinda silly really!! In my 5 years in Japan, I've managed to only be spat at twice, rammed with an umbrella 3 times, and grabbed on the subway once, (all by Japanese), so I think I've done pretty good for a goodlooking woman. In all fairness to the gaijin's, the Japanese also make stupid mistakes while visiting other countries, sometimes they're just plain bloody stupid, however, WE ARE ONLY HUMAN!!! A message to the aggressive people swearing, being totally rude and pathetic, GROW UP WOULD YOU!!
