Unless you really love trains (and drinking), you are better off with just booking a flight, because it’s a seriously long trip, and probably also going to be more expensive than a flight. My best guess is that it’s mainly intended for goods and wares, though i am a little concerned about more Russians visiting Japan, and giving westerners a bad name. Well… a worse name.

I never said it was right, but he who lives in a glass should not throw stones, right? // Around the World? It’s a tunnel. I think the question should be through the World?

An in the “western” world (including Japan) it is perfectly legal to support these sweat shops. Both sides should shut up and better do something about it.

The train tunnel is exciting though. How long will it take until you can go round the whole world by train?

It’s especially funny when it happens to the police. [Nelson.wav] Telling them to “shut up” is a little awkward. Not sure how parliaments work in other countries, but here, taunts are very normal; you just talk through them.

I think the Japanese diplomat was right in telling Mauritius diplomat to “shut up!” Criticize Japan all you want, but it’s (at least) 10 times the country Mauritius is. If I am not mistaken Mauritius still uses what are essentially sweat shops for making Western brand clothes. So they are one to talk!!!

Glad you guys decided to illustrate the dog poop bomb and not the buddhist monk!
