An official Japanese government website said that the average monthly income for Japanese households is close to 900,000 Yen. Is this right? It's an amazingly high figure I thought, even for Japan.

900,000... whats this a married working couple in mid-career? Sounds a bit high to me.

Officially - if you go by the government - Japan is a land where:

* AIDS is almost unknown
* All the criminals are foreign
* All sex-workers are foreign
* There is no racism
* Women have equal rights
* Everyone is literate

Im sure someone will add more to this list.

If you go out drinking with your business buddies be prepared to test your marriage!!!

Japanese - start learning now. Books night courses... etc. Really. I too have met at least one person who lived in Tokyo for a crazy amount of time (27yrs) and couldnt speak a lick of it.
