Japan Pins Tourism Hopes on PDA

Sammy at Palm Addict writes "According to Australia News.com, Japan will start lending PDA's to foreign visitors to help tourists get to grips with the country. The aim is to make Japan more attractive to foreign tourists, who are often put off by the country's language barrier. The PDA's will be loaded with travel information and translation services as part of a tourism promotion scheme. "Japan's tourism authority will lend the PDAs containing Chinese, Korean and English software, to selected tourists who land at Narita Airport near Tokyo from February through March to test the response" Japan's transport ministry said."

    Yes the fact the japanese are the most racist people on earth is because of the western influence. The hundred of thousands of chinese they slaughtered, the american troops they captured, tortured and killed, the entire civilizations that lived on the pacific islands they erradicated... it is all western culture's fault. The japanese are perfect. It is all our fault.

    You mindless sheep. BAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

    Go to Japan, have them chase you around giggling, pointing, laughing, and making fun of you. When you go into the "wrong" restraunt where they refuse to serve you, or pretend to not understand when you order something in perfect japanese.

    A PDA to increase japanese tourism? Oh wait a second... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
