For all the complaints people have about Japan, just be glad it's not like this:

I'm glad my name isn't mrjohndub. I'd be out 100,000 yen for stupidness because of a lack of common sense regarding a visa. Rolling Eyes

That's crazy! I can't believe people actually died over there.

Though of course this kind of thing happens every day all around the world but still!

I love how those that couldn't cut it here (or lived the life at GEOS) always come back to the Japan forum to make silly wise cracks. You are the weakest link minus 100,000 yen. Have a lame life. Twisted Evil You are pretty much as insignificant as they come.

Wow, if that hole were in Japan imagine how many guys with helmets and orange batons would be needed to patrol the perimeter and stop people falling in... Laughing

As the article says: Korea and Japan have similar complaints. In fact you are an indentured serf.
