    Meaning of this Symbol?¿?¿

    also consider that it could be the traditional form of the Chinese yue\le meaning music\happy (much the same). Can you tell us more about where you found it? Does it appear with other characters?

    Others editing my posts . . .

    WHOA! Kokusu - I am so sorry. I didn't think you would be upset. I really enjoyed your link and I wanted to add a comment. I didn't want to send the thread off on tangents and I thought (wrongly) this would be the best way to do so. I do need to thank you for making me reflect on my...

    Japanese Degree?

    No too familiar with how the UK works so this might be worthless, or you might hate these idea - I would say you could take your Japanese/law degree and work for the government/state whatever you want to call it. There are business connections to be maintained (chamber of commerce type...

    Heated bra this christmas in japan

    Why just for the ladies? If you really want to be eco-friendly, come out with a whole line of clothing....I can think of one segment of the population in perhaps greater need of heated undergarmets...😌 but that would be dirty while somehow this bra isn't...:p Ladies, do they really get that cold?

    enigma of tanegashima

    A caveat lector - firearms are not my specialty, so I look forward to this thead for both technical and historical reasons. A bit hard on the eyes, but from the Oxford English Dictionary (since it is a restricted access resource and I can't link you all to it)- and musket So the two...

    please to help me to assess my project about Japan

    So each family has more than one pod they can change depending on their activity / preference? I think your idea and design looks very good on paper and the club idea is novel, but will Japanese families want to use used pods? For me at least, my car is a personal thing. The space becomes an...

    Geisha discomfort and the root of cinematic evil

    Please note that I am using MOAG as a unifying theme to air my broader views of American mainstream films, of which I see MOAG as symptomatic. True, the movie is not out yet, but I do not think it is inappropriate to pre-judge something like a movie. Previews are designed to make you pre-judge...

    What kind of visa/job for a self employed US Citizen?

    Thank you - I'll look in to that if I have a free moment. I was speaking indirectly to the Trainee visa http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/appendix1.html which does not include a nationality clause, but you might be correct howthe visa is actually granted. Perhaps I was being too...

    Anyome else been harassed by McTojo post-ban ?

    I think (and this is my hunch, mine is not to reason why...) JREF bans by user name because a fair number of you guys log on from internet cafes etc. or from school where banning an IP address could knock out a number of forumites with one hit. People here are pretty good about not feeding...

    What kind of visa/job for a self employed US Citizen?

    Thank god! Then take my post as a word of warning so you don't let this visa thing slip! Just run a search for "Japan visa overstay" on google and you will get quite a number of even worse - and more importantly true - stories. As for how many times you can go out and come back on only a...

    Anyome else been harassed by McTojo post-ban ?

    All- Banned members can still log on as guests - ie see the forum and anything accessable to non-members but not post. Thus, if your e-mail is listed in your profile, they have access to it. Sometimes people get a second username and try their old tricks. Usually staff is pretty good about...

    What kind of visa/job for a self employed US Citizen?

    Brace yourself, Tourist visas are good for 90 days. Since you overstayed your visa - a fact they will draw to your attention when you try to leave or apply for any kind of change of status (necessary to get a work visa etc) - they will ask you questions right off the bat. Your only hope...

    Geisha discomfort and the root of cinematic evil

    No worries, all brands of cinematic evil are welcome here :-) True, we will always be plagued with the problem of good translation in either subtitles or dubbing when faced with the foreign language problem. I wouldn't be to worried even about dubbing if the subject matter deemed worthy of...

    Geisha discomfort and the root of cinematic evil

    This will not be new to many of you, but it is worth keeping in mind as the holiday movie season comes out, IMHO I've figured out what bothers me about this and many other American-made movies focusing on Japan. But first, the big thing that doesn't bother me, but seems to come up a lot-...
