Lots of reasons. personal taste, perceived exclusivity, resale value, the smell(!), dream fulfillment, and, yes, ego.
2 :
They buy it because of style and people think its more luxury than Japanese cars.
3 :
people who buy those european cars dont usually buy them. they lease them. since they lease them they only keep them for two or three years and it is all covered under warranty. also if they do buy them then they can afford the upkeep cause they dont really care. personally i would go with toyota over anything.

How can you waste your money on unreliable Jap cars(Honda recalls 1 million cars in March,Toyota recalls 6.7 million cars in 2006) when American cars are cheaper?And American cars are cheaper to repair.

maybe brazil but they dont have any talented fighters from japan that could headline a fight everytime the fight in canida gsp is fighting and in britan they get michael (get knocked out by desicion dan) bisping
2 :
Not until they have more legit Japanese fighters. Their only real talent in the UFC right now is Yushin Okami, and he hasn't fought in almost a year (Dec. '08).

How realistic is it for him to move to Japan?
How realistic is it for him to move to Japan?
I am moving to Japan for 14 months on a foreign exchange program in which I pay an outrageous amount of money to live there and take language and culture immersion classes every day. Good deal, though I am way excited. My boyfriend of two years is Japanese too, and I am kind of thinking of asking him to come with me. He would live rent-free because my tuition covers on apartment, so how expensive would it be for him to live there? He is not 20 yet but he has dual-citizenship and his fluent. I am not familiar with the college system there.. would he be able to work on getting the equivalent of his AA or BA? And would he be able to make enough money with just a normal job to put himself through college & pay for food? I know that it is extremely expensive... but I also think it will be an incredible experience together. We are both 18.

Before I answer your questions, the first think you need to do is to confirm with your boyfriend that he is not forced and willing and ready to take the chance and risk to move to Japan with you for the next 14 months. Finding a job in Japan should be no problem for him and should be just enough to pay for food but definitely not the tuition fees. The BA or college degree there does not necessary equivalent to the BA or college degree in the U.S. It depends on the college or the university (Tokyo University should be good). You should confirm with the school first. Hope your boyfriend can make it.

If he is a Japanese citizen, then he has a registry. First, was he born in Japan or states? If he was born in states, then most likely, parents sent a birth certificate through the Jap. embassy/consulate to get him on their registry; which means, they know he has Am. citizenship. Don't make him use the Am. citizenship to register as Foreigner because then he's gonna need proof that he has a job or university entrance approval as well as other stuff. Safest thing to do is use Jap. citizenship. This'll make it much easier for him to find job. If the clerk asks if he is going to claim his Jap. citizenship, say "Yes". They're not gonna make him denounce his U.S. citizenship or anything (it's only verbal declaration). He can apply for a Jap. passport if he wants to. He's gonna need to know the address of his Legal Residence. He's also gonna have to register as a resident w/the City/Town Hall of where he'll be residing. In doing so, he's gonna have to submit info. regarding his legal residence (his parents should know). If he has relatives in Japan, ask if he can use them as a contact should anything happen. You're both 18, so you're both considered a minor; no drinking, no smoking and jobs will be limited (can't work in certain "night" places) Also, he's gonna automatically go under the social insurance which'll take care of his medical/dental/optical bills (pay 30% at hospital), but there is a yearly fee which is based on income. If his relatives are very nice people, he might want to ask if he can go under their household (check how much the yearly fee will be and if its cheaper for him to be alone, go with that) He might be able to find part-time work (its normal to have BA/BS or AA for regular companies), but school is another matter. Check to see if his school has some kind of exchange program with a Jap. college. thats the safest and hassle free way. Otherwise, he's gonna have to apply as a returning jap. local with schools that have this system (Sophia is famous but very expensive). Don't apply as regular Jap. cause then he's gonna have to take entrance exam tests (read and write in Jap) and pay huge amounts of money; plus, the school year starts in the spring. Also, the cheapest are National colleges (colleges sponsored by the country)　and Prefectural colleges (prefecture sponsored) Tuition'll cost about $5,000 - $6,000 a year, but entrance is pretty strict and costs about $3,000 - $4,000 (place reservation fee). Tokyo University is one of the top universities, but think of it in the same rank as Harvard or other high-ranked schools. Transportation and food will also cost a bit; so, considering all the complexities, unless he can get his school funding covered, moving to Japan is pretty expensive and complicated.

It is incredibly expensive to sort, clean, store, and ship donations of goods from thousands of miles away from a disaster. Also, the vast majority of items that do get pushed on organizations turn out to be unusable--the wrong clothing (fur coats got shipped to Haiti), culturally inappropriate (leather to India), or just in bad shape. Ditto for food. Money is the best donation. The Red Cross spends donated money in or near a disaster area, to purchase necessary supplies from local businesses. This means that these businesses can continue to pay their employees, who already affected by the disaster. Otherwise, they would lose their jobs on top of everything else that has happened. Donating money keeps people going in ways far beyond immediate supplies. The earthquake happened on a Friday. The Red Cross and other relief organizations already existed on Thursday, right? So before the disaster hit, they had offices in place to get information and coordinate their responses. Relief agencies need stuff independent of any specific disaster. Agencies need vehicles to get to disasters. These are usually vans and trucks. These need gas, oil, tires, inspection, maintenance, and insurance--all of which costs money. Agency offices need electricity, water, computers, Internet access, phones, phone service, printers, paper, toner--and people. People need to be paid living wages and have healthcare insurance in full-time jobs. (You want that, right?) All of that already had to be paid for, so when disasters occur, the agencies are ready. Without unrestricted donations not tied to any event, relief agencies cannot have any of these necessities--and can't respond as effectively as necessary.
