Current Economic Situation in Japan
2004.10.17 2:50

Here I tell you this country's current economic big topic...Who's going to buy a nation wide super mega market called Daiei, which has got 2700 premises nationwide and has got huge huge debt. No one cannot undertake his huge debt but people here. Very recently huge non performing loans Daiei made are decided to be undertaken by newly made industrial revitalisation corporation of Japan, so called ircj. This institution is a public one, not a private and tens of thousands of taxes collected from our households are going to be used for its compensation. Firstly Daiei is thought to be bought by a gigantic US supermarket giant, Walmart, but in fact one morning Daiei wake up to be compensated by the hand of the public, money from ordinary people, not from private company. Don't you immediately believe that Daiei will be rescued and that's the end of this story? I cannot believe so.
After being compensated fully from the people's hand, only after that Walmart is to buy this revitalised supermarket by relatively cheaper fund. That is always the way Americans like to take. Remember... this country was defeated completely by US. I think we prepare to feed a almost dying company before serves in front of US giant. We all appreciate all we have to serve will be in economical terms, not any in military ones.
Followings are a special room especially designed for my reference purposes. ..
#Pre-emptive
There are numerous news sources around us. Some mean nothing while the others mean something serious behind the scenes. It is important for us to know how different in value among these things, which will eventually lead to the pre-emptive attack to the dangerous currents.
#Pc accessibility will increase
By the end of 2005, the accessibility to pc in a public place will have been more viable. Currently mainly I can have free access to pc in the International Forum, located at the very centre of the city from 10 a.m. to 19 p.m. and the Yahoo Broadband pc centre located in the electric appliances store from 10 a.m. to 21 p.m. And in my office. The problem is when I go out, I do not usually carry my notebook type pc, so when I need to see I cannot freely get access to it. Of course there're net cafes- but it's too costly, so no. And even if I carry my pc, it's only accessible in the limited places- currently in the railway station and MacDonald's through wireless LAN( I have heard that if I carry a special antenna to receive, wherever I can. But I think it's trouble.) But by the end of 2005, we use TV phone, is a matter of course.
#First Step
I need a job. Paid Slashdot user would be great.
Could you tell me what paid user is? I revealed I changed my job many times as I was talking to Mr Marxist Hacker 42. Actually I changed the job 13 times and was fired 7 times. But I was always working even soon after I was fired.
I don't know exactly where you live, but if you live in a big city like Cisco or something, it's not hard to find a part-time job. Usually it's difficult to be hired by a big company or companies that are already established their name. But you can work there in a part-time worker. For example, it would be hard for us to be hired by a full-time worker in Kentuckey Fried Chicken, but they will hire us as a temporary worker. The point is...if we are really qualified and have a distinguish skill or knowledge whatever, they will never miss you. They will be eager to hire you sometime after you start working there.
Honestly speaking, I did the same method, and now I was recontracted as a full-time worker after some time. It is important for us to work wherever we can work or we are allowed to work, the most important thing is whether we've got strong will to keep on working there. They will see our will to work, not skill alone.
it was meant to be humorous
Please don't say sorry, I have known that.
I'm getting a little old
BTW, have you revealed your age in your JE or your homepage? I am really afraid of revealing my age. Obviously I am a little older than average Slashdotters.
Boy...Between you and me, we are the same age. BTW, I tried ten word meme, it's interesting.
#Noro Viruses
Recently (within 1 week) here in Japan a number of food poisonings are occured spontaneously in completely separate areas, but all are caused by the same viruses called Noro viruses. Interestingly the name Noro comes from combination of Norwalk-like disease and Sapporo-like disease, so Noro...we don't know exactly but a number of certain diseases are from either human's or city's name. ...I didn't know there's Latin word for the region of California, the word california itself means in Latin ' the island nearest to heaven'. So sure there must have been the one for the region in it.
# Murmuring
It is just hard to tell my private life to you. I feel envious because you can reveal your overall life candidly, but... I think my relationship with an African girl was unable to continue, she was 34, single. Last time we met was 5 months ago, already. We had a quarrel, since then... It just takes money and time to build a trusting relationship with a girl, but it seems to me that I have just failed to have such a good relationship with any woman so far, I am 43, this June get one more age...I still feel very hard, if it were possible, I would get up and go to see her now, but it was just impossible, it seems to be impossible. She said she plans to leave this country this year after 2 year stay as is just the case of many other foreign teachers. I am about to feel like taking it for granted that I sleep by myself. Used to live with a couple of women for about 5 years, comparatively short yeah? For the time being , here is the only my console.
I never had a relationship with a woman for five years
Sorry, I mean 5 years, with three women combined.
looking for other girls could be the plan for the day.
Right now, I am exhausted looking for a new one.
why the quarrel happened.
We live 70km away, lack of mutual respect, lack of money, etc. Some young girl (27) pointed out my age, gush. I might find the good one tommorow, I'll try.
#Oppotunities and Possibilities
Although I am doing my best to work in a company right now, I feel somehow alienated working in a company hired for such a long time 5-6 years already. Had I been teaching for a long time when I was young, sometimes I found boredom in company job. I know I cannot feel interested as long as I am hired. Anyway there are lots of oppotunities and possibilities lying in front of us. There are ways when there's will.
