I'm pretty sure the German surrendered in May of 1945 and the Japanese surrendered in August or September 1945...I think most people would agree that was the end of WWII...And, of course, the terrorists must have surrendered in May of 2003...otherwise, it seems weird we would have declared Mission Accomplished...

Let's look at Japan, which goes along with Europe missing a recession, we can see that Japanese exports have fallen off a cliff by volume.

Especially because, honestly, a G37S doesn't look much different, on the outside, than any other late-model Japanese car.  

I like the Japanese Maple miniature as it wont grow but will add a nice reddish maple color.

Why  well Dad is Japanese was a Billionaire got hammered int the Japanese melt down of mid 90s' and instructed the family and family trust that if you pay cash U can't lose your properties.. so thats what they have done all these years.. and you really can't argue with that if you have the cash and don't care about leverage.. thats the long term safe play.  

That's what happened. ya I hear ya with certain parts of the US>. but look how the Japanese handled the tsunami  pictures of all those folks politely standing in line for their water.. but no question in gun happy America and in the inner cities were they shoot each other like crazy right now with out any disasters I can for sure see it..

Going are the awnings, japanese blinds and front stone finish ( replaced by a,more modern stone).

I know Japanese cars like Honda, Toyota last a very very long time but the vehicle rots from rust before the mechanicals die. 

when things were slow in the Bay area from 92 to about 98  we were killing it in the timber bizzin Oregon.. then the Japanese economy tanked and Timber was not ever as profitable as those days.. but I cant look back can only look forward..  

My daughter hosts at a Japanese restaurant and the owner and managers don't question any of the guests wanting to be seated with their animals....all can/will claim ESA.
