Tangentially, I've seen "Nomu-nication" (Nomu "to drink" and Communication) be a central part of almost all business in Japan -- both internal and external. One experience I had with my Osakan clients always stood o

I've lived in Japan for 11 years now, and have the complete opposite experience from you. While older houses (30~10 years ago) were horribly insulated, houses now are sturdily built, with good insulation (mine has fiberglass and spray-

Hi Kohsuke, > In Japan, the seller is on the hook for up to an year for problems that weren't discovered at the point of sale. Actually, it's 5 years in Japan now. My contractor just had to do a complete re-wallpapering of my h

Emergency entrances for fire / rescue. You are not allowed to put anything in front of those windows, so that firefighers know they can break those windows to easily gain access to a building. They can then be used to help people escap

Depending on the airport, you need to re-check in & go through security when going from International to Domestic. This is true at LAX which is the main hub that I go through.

Completely agreed. I mainly fly internationally, and while shaving 2 hours off a 8 hour flight would be wonderful, it doesn't help me, as the majority of my time is spent in airports between the flights. For me to get to where my family liv

Looking forward to this one. The last one was a blast.

Agreed -- Nagoya is also especially well-known for never sticking their neck out. "If Tokyo and Osaka are making gazillions of dollars on it, we MIGHT consider it" is the general position around here, but I think it's very indicative of mos

I think it is a smaller demographic than the article makes out, but I think that the "New Japan" is going to NEED to come about in the next 10 years if we have any chance of staying afloat as an economic power. Because of our aging populati

This article really mirrors my own experience in dealing with startups in Japan -- especially those outside of the Tokyo bubble. There's still this pervasive idea that if you're not a member of some multi-corporation conglomeration like Toy

I use unotelly personally, but I completely agree. The fact that it works on my iphone, ipad, appletv, etc is completely worth the measly $5 a month. This app seems nice, but it a) only works in chrome and b) is free, so I wonder how long i

In multiple tests, I have seen the video + long sales copy move the needle as much as 70% on final sales. As of yet, I have not run a test that does not increase by at least 20%. Details NDA, YMMV

If you can't believe how cheap it is now, you should have seen the pricing structure that he was proposing until a number of his friends said "Have you been LISTENING to your own advice over the last 5 years?"

Guys, I said it on the (yet unreleased) podcast and I'll say it again -- this book is amazing, and it would be foolish not to spend the mere $39 on real, actionable advice that can double your freelancing rate. In the first 20 pages I found

Note the .jp. As I mentioned above, our internet speeds are crazy fast. I downloaded the whole thing in about 3 seconds on my home internet, 10 on my 3g ipad. The only issue with the ipad was that you couldn't flick and have it just scroll

Which isn't much seeing that Japanese broadband is CRAZY fast. My 100mb line costs me about $60/month. and I could upgrade to Gigabit for around 80/month.

It's on the correct side when you're in Japan. Our steering wheels are on the right, and we drive on the left, just like England.
