Quote a sentence or two. Use some editorial discretion. You are an English teacher after all. (a fact that I often find shocking reading these posts).
Now as Bush, one of the greatest tacticians of the English language has said, "Bring 'em on." |
There we go .. multiple pages!! |

What are some of the other countries you like to visit on vacation (from your job in Japan)?
What are the costs of roundtrip airfare and hotel to those countries? |
To answer your question, many people often go to South Korea, China, Thailand and Cambodia. They are all popular destinations because the airfares are reasonable and the cost of traveling is lower than actually traveling within Japan. The costs of round trip flights vary according to the time of year, period of stay and country you are traveling to. Hotel prices also vary significantly.

In your opinion, what are some of the more glaring differences between people in Osaka and Tokyo?
As the poll bluntly asks, what are advantages, disadvantages, and preferences regarding the two cities? |

In regards to suits, dress shirts and ties, what colors are acceptable? IS tan or light charcoal okay for a suit, or do eikawas prefer darker conservative colors?
Silly specificity, but I want to bring suits over with me, rather than buy them there. Though I was surprised to hear the fairly inexpesive prices Canuck mentioned. |
Blue and white are probably the most common and safest colours. Are colours are acceptable. Tan is not common for a suit. A light charcoal is not uncommon for a suit. Black, dark blue and grey are the most common colours. Tailor made suits can be purchased from 15,000 yen and up, with an average around 20,000 to 25,000 yen for something nice. |
Happy monday! |
Is there a DVD version of this? I got as far as, "Do you people really need...."  |
oops!!

Is that the largest quote bubble ever seen on this forum?
I was going to add to it, but I'm not man enough. |

| I realize one use for quoting a person's entire post. With the ability to edit, it keeps posters from changing their stance or opinions or missspeling. |
