just to let you know they’re not called “ford suburbans”……they are actually chevrolet suburbans or “chevy”……ford has a similar SUV called the expedition but it is not the one pictured.

Doh! Sure enough, the Chevy logo is clear as day. I have no explanation for how I didn’t notice that originally, but in any case, I’ve updated the text. Thanks! —Jeffrey

I really enjoyed the contents of your website. They are really informative. You have made it fun for the readers, and indeed you has “blended” everything, i.e. culture, education, freedom (of expressing your thoughts), etc. all together in your website format. Your sharing about your family, social life, and daily life activities there in Japan has helped me a lot in understanding Japan. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

For the cost of the President’s visit to Japan, I think it was worthwhile. Having accepted to the U.S. as a refugee from Vietnam 31 years ago, and embraced her as my country, I am very proud of the President and my country. To my opinion, regardless of what we think about our President, we need to take good care of our President, especially when he is visiting other countries. He is representing us, and we should be proud of this fact.

Yes, the taxpayer’s money. The taxpayer’s money. I cry for my daughter. I guess she’ll be living with us for the rest of her life because of the taxpayer’s money. Republicans are stereotyped as fiscally conservative and socially conservative. Here we have a fiscally “liberal” and socially conservative Republican. No wonder few like him–here AND abroad (from a U.S. centric perspective). Anyone with half a brain must wonder what US voters are thinking…. I know I am. The only reason I don’t move to Japan is because pop culture there doesn’t seem to be much better than in the U.S.

Heh.

Have you ever seen the NOVA documentry about all the prep work the secret service does when the president goes anywhere? It’s pretty amazing. Of course, they don’t provide any notion of what the associated costs are. I suspect we’d be shocked to see how big that number is.
