I also heard that Japanese, Chinese and Korean market are getting hot among foreigners, looking for better deals than they can find in Europe or US, with a lower risk and better economies.

The Japanese are a big percentage of our tourist and have been coming here for years.

in order to gain trust and assistance from the Japanese to help you.

Then when we started sourcing Japanese properties, all sorts of people, including very influential hedge fund managers etc (of the sort that brought the market crashing down in 2008) were saying similar things ("prices haven't risen in 15 years etc") - they're all (mom included) laughing out of the other side of their mouths now ;)Slow and steady does it - it takes those who go against the grain to make a real killing - and Detroit may be just the place to hit now, of all times.Best of luck and welcome aboard!

I think the Japanese economic disaster is something we need to study as we're likely to be dealing with many similar issues.

Get something more visually stimulating, like a one-piece with a double flush European button on top or a sleek Japanese design like a Toto Aquia.3.

Just today, I went to a Japanese owned sushi restaurant that was recommended by a fellow Japanese resident here.

We've also lost the Japanese due to their "lost decade".

Couldn't decide whether that was done by two or four legged critters...Also nasty - a crack pipe hidden in the electrical box, nicely wrapped in a baggie with a lighter.Neat stuff - found a nice carved antique chair stuck up in the attic, along with some old Japanese tea cups.

Japanese culture is really strong and the saying "the nail that sticks out gets pounded" applies.
