Captain Japan's latest column:

New Breed Taxi Drivers Emerge in Japan

Few will doubt that the Captain is one of the hardest working newsmen around. Waiting for a story to come to him is not his style; rather, he's out pounding the pavement, getting the facts, and putting faces on people - in essence, giving his readers a voice they can rely on even in the most difficult of times.

Japan's new breed of taxi driver is like-minded. Deregulation has changed the market, allowing for competition. As a result, a new go-getter mentality has emerged in this conservative industry. Join the Captain this week as he rides shotgun with this new breed of taxi driver.

that is good. it gives the drivers a chance to earn more or less depending on there motivation. more jobs should be like that.
 
If this article alone doesn't quite make sense it might be because a lot of the background info is in the one previous. That can be found here:

The host-turned-driver featured in the second one is a really nice guy. I put his phone number at the bottom of the page, so if you need a ride in Tokyo, give him a call. He can speak English a little bit as well.

I've got some links at the bottom of my info page:

Hi Captain, very kind of you. Just give me a few days, as the forum's design and layout will soon be changed.
