<//Japan is ripe for mass migration.// To where? > Well, a Japanese village for retirees in Kiwiland might sell. They could escape the extorquerationate costs of Japan [where a fish costs a fortune] and live in a more equitable climate, with cheap servants to attend to every need, where golf costs US$20 a round for the best golf courses and Asahi beer is half the price of Japan. We need the cashflow. They want the nice way of life. I'm sure a deal could be done. But people always miss being surrounded by their way of life, newspapers, language, foods, friends and families, so it's not likely other than for a few. An extreme example of how people get used to a way of life and think they enjoy it [even though to normal humans it's near insane] is people living in a refrigerator/freezer, with the light turned off. For fun they roam around in the snow and kill polar bears [or are killed by them - if they don't drown after falling off an ice floe or out of a kayak first]. Yep, those Alaskans sure are crazy! Mq
