Disruptions: Facebook Users Ask, 'Where's Our Cut?' - NYTimes.com
My Facebook profile, and that of many of my friends is a bit fake because I refuse to be monetized. On Facebook I live in Peru and consequently most of the ads I see are in Spanish. Facebook conveniently does not report this fakery in their filing documents.

the qualia journal: The "operating system" of Japan is most probably out of date.

Thoughtful article. I can understand your frustration. It is always more dynamic to have a multicultural university environment.
Though I have the feeling that comparing Japan to USA is not fair. USA is an English speaking country, in the current state of the world, they do not have to make efforts to open to the world because… well most people learn English languages for communicating (as we both do right now you Japanese, me French).
It would be more interesting to look at 1) entrance exams and 2) diversity of student population in countries having a minority language (not English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Chinese).
That would give a fair image of the situation for Japan. That said opening is indeed good.
