| Need some Japanese fibre in my diet...
quote:
100Mbps fiber service is available to 43% of Japan, with 2002 subscribers signing up for service by the end of 2002. Japan continues to be the global leader in inexpensive broadband options.
Can anyone give me a good reason why we shouldn't pull up stakes and move to Japan for 100Mbps service?
Something beside the fact that their marijuana laws are even dumber than in America and deal out sentences twice as harsh as for 2nd degree murder...

way to many people and land properties are too high.
remember, one of the reason why they have such a high precentage is because most of their population live sin apartments.
My basement probably twice as large (area) than most japanese apartments. |

I can think of one small impediment to relocating to Japan ... They talk different and write different! If you think learning Japanese is like trying to learn, say, French, you are in for a rude awakening. If you think you can move to a country like Japan without ever learning Japanese, you are deep into self-delusion. It's the language there. English and other languages are strictly second-hand knowledge. So, buckle down and start memorizing a couple thousand Kanji characters. In a couple of decades, you might even begin to get the honorifics right. Good luck, and enjoy that 100MBS connection, you're going to need it. |
