Thanks for all the links Russell. It really is appreciated.

I think Tom's heading for the bottom of a maul at the moment.
(I was going to say receiving a rucking, but, well...)LOL this thread is awesome.

Probably enough for a rugby team!
For sure!
I was quite happy for men to have a **men's discussion**I was looking forward to hearing what the men here had to say about "the manliness or otherwise of crying in public". Then you went and said this:
so keep your views on All Blacks crying to yourself. its an issue for us guys to argue over.
....now I am too busy laughing to think of anything to contribute anyway. But seriously, if you (Tom) are uncomfortable with that personally, I can respect that but you can't try to impose that on all men.

Are we?
I would like to know too. There must be some information on this. You would think that between Women's Refuge and the police there would be something a bit more clear cut.

To clarify:
By woman with means to indulge I mean working career woman spending their own money. -
Daleaway,
There are bars in Japan that cater to woman, irony being that most of the customers in host bars (picture if you will, skinny men with hairsprayed blonde mullets lighting your cigs, pouring your drinks and laughing at your jokes....)
are actually hostesses themselves........
I can only imagine that after a hard day at work it is nice to have someone cater to you for a change. I am only going on what I saw on J-TV however.
As far as woman with the economic means to indulge, I saw a hordes of those in high end whiskey bars. Go figure. -
I don't know people stand all that humanity around them. It would drive me spare.
Initially it was very draining but in time it becomes completely normal. A special kind of solitude can be found in crowds.

They have an all-in-one card now? That must be so convenient. I was using the Suica card but that wasn't good for everything.
I miss the train. -
I think the trick is to not look at the map beyond what you need, otherwise it melts your brain.
You have the right idea. That map you photographed, don't look at it. I just used it to scare my friends! The best thing would be to use a Japanese cell phone then you can just enter where you are and where you want to go. Then it is just a matter of only looking at the map you need (a skill in itself I know!) I conquered the train system without the phone initally but it really does take most of the work out. It should give you several options, plus all the times and the cost. If there are different coloured ticket machines with less people waiting, they will not be the ones you want. Don't be fooled.

I am so jealous. When I tried to go to Tsukiji I turned up bright and early but they were closed.
Gutted.
