Actually a lot of the bidets in Japan are not built in. They are attachable but are just very popular over there. Anyone could just go get one on amazon.

I don't think so...I think Thai people eat/drink everything...

Snakes and their venom, live venomous spiders, various insects, scorpions, cockroaches,... and yes, even cats, dogs and other cute furry animals that in the more western countries are considered pets...

Or so I've heard, read and seen...on TV...

I think the Japanese are more fond of fish...and rice...
Now that I think about it, most fetishes I have come from Japan...and that both frightens and arouses me...

No offence: You're kinda exagareting (might have misspelled that...anyway).
Not all aritsts are like that...I admit...some of them take it WAY TOO far... and get ''consumed'' by the desire to make it perfect... think that Sander Cohen from Bioshock... he's a prime example.
but...think about it... if artists should all be killed...then there would be almost nothing...making games is an art, dancing is an art, hell, Our Admin constantely re-coding, re-building and upgrading this site...is an art...
**** it...you posting your comments is...admitedely less of an art...but it still kinda is...

**sedativechunk rolled image** I have a serious question. With those toilets that spray wash your asshole, did you still need to wipe or does it clean your asshole thorough enough? Because I would get the impression you need to wipe first but then that kind of defeats the purpose of it being there. But then if you power wash your asshole, doesn't fecal particles get everywhere (like on your ass cheeks)? IT doesn't make sense to me versus wiping if it doesn't clean you good enough.

Somebody doesn't know jack **** about Japan outside of anime.

I've met a number of people online whom I can speak better Japanese than they can speak English, and I only studied it for like a year and a half in college and am not even close to fluent. There were only a few people who spoke good English when my Dad went to Japan, and he was on a business trip.

Most of them know some English, but it's comparable to like a year or two of mandated high school learning status.

My sister went, not I.
She was in Tokyo (I don't know which district, I just know she went to the Ghibli museum and did not take advantage of Ikebukuro despite being an arts student), and didn't speak a lick of Japanese, and given that she had to get trains everywhere and couldn't read the ticket displays and maps, she met as many people as she needed to ask directions from. She said school girls were significantly more helpful than police officers.

I wonder how you define being able to speak English then.
Because first you said "Most Japanese people know pretty good English" and then you said that your sister didn't meet a single person who couldn't speak English.

Please tell me your definition of being able to speak English and being "pretty good" at English.

Being able to hold a conversation. I feel it's the same for any language. I can understand a lot of languages, but I don't claim to be able to speak them because I can't give an original reply (you say "se på mig" I'm like "k"). If you can understand a language and give a reply outside of affirmative/negative response, you can speak the language.

Being able to hold a conversion is good.
If you can give responses outside of affirmative and negative ones, then you can speak it.

Correct?
If so, then the majority of Japanese people are neither good nor can they speak English.

Japanese does borrow heavily from English, this doesn't automatically imply that they're any good at it. A lot of Japanese teens just see English as 'that stupid language we have to learn at school', but will still use English words/phrases because they've become naturalised into the Japanese language.

In some cases the words even tale on a different meaning, or are used differently from their English use.

For example, the word 'pinch' has become an excalamation of sorts to indicate that one is in trouble, where an English speaker would for instance use 'uh-oh'.
