Pros and Pros (-_-#)
Wed, 25 February 2009
Things I like about my home city are
1. it's my home city.
2. Real Japanese food is available. No fake Teriyaki crap.
3. Excellent customer service quality even at McDonald's.
4. No LOL. This is why we cover a mouth like a geisha girl when we laugh :-P
5. Public transportation system is wonderful even if it' closes at 1 a.m.
6. Efficient public services.
7. Beautiful 4 seasons though this was the second warmest winter in history in Tokyo...
8. Washlet can be easily accessed anywhere.
9. Standard Japanese with no dialect is spoken.
10. Easy commuting from the central area of Tokyo. (A 5min taxi ride to work)
Things I don't like about my home city are
1. Smoking is permitted at many restaurants and wine bars even.
2. Gas is ridiculously exensive... Less mortorcycling these days.
3. No homo marriage is allowed.
4. The international airport is about 1 and a half hours away from the city.
5. Too many automatic doors so people forgot how to hold manual doors anymore.
There is no way he can convince me to move to Rotterdam... but his argument point was "One negative point may destroy all the good points." Well, yeah... but for this, I go for quantity..... I wonder if there is any conclusion to this discussion.... I wonder....
Happy hump day!

It's a tough decision. I hope that you two can compromise so that you are both happy! :)

Hmm, Tokyo does sound nice.

Most of your pros and cons can be applied to Japan as a whole (except for the dialect part, but Kansai -ben has grown on me ^_^).
The one thing I will say for Tokyo is that it gets ALL the good events, like the upcoming WBC games, but it's not enough to make me want to move and deal with sardine-can commuting on a regular basis. I am so spoilt by the hotel and my 10-minute walk to work!
Good luck reaching a compromise!

As for my home city, I am very sure the cons will be longer than the pros. :)

Hi Shigeki! Gosh it has been so long since I've been here last but I'm SO glad you're still keeping us updated with your life! I've forgotten how cute and funny your posts were...and still are!
