My partner and I live in the Wangjing district of Beijing. He has a day off work on Wednesday and seeing as the weather here has been getting nicer we have decided we would like to go somewhere out of the city for a day trip. We hae visited all the usual touristy areas such as the Great Wall at Badaling and The Summer Palace. We were thinking about something like a day at the beach. Can anyone recommend anything that's not too far from Beijing that would make a good day out?

Based on some of my research, japan does not support GSM, meaning it does not matter whether the phone is triband or quadband. Based on what i researched, they support UMTS or 3G.. So phones with 3G can be used in Japan? My phone is nokia 6233 and it is 3G.

Is it true that Japanese men heads the family? How? I was told that Japanese society is male-dominated. I have a friend who told me that men are the one who manage the household, and that women are just expected to stay at home and be a housekeeper. The man is the one who keeps and budget the money. He would give only to his wife only what is enough for the family. Is this true in many cases?

This boggles me. Japan is a very industrialized country. It seems that they like working so I'm thinking they enjoy what they are doing. And I have always had the impression that the Japanese are very resilient people. People around the world admire the Japanese and its culture.

They go out with their friends on trips, karaoke, and drinks. They can afford expensive branded goods. They are the richest country in Asia. Going to clubs with hosts and hostesses is very common and accepted. They are living the good life! It seems that the Japanese has everything going for them so what is wrong? Why the high suicide rate? They even have suicide clubs on the internet and suicide pacts. People who don't even know each other meet and agree to commit suicide together.

Considering that they have the mentality that they are better than their Asian neighbors, you wouldn’t think they have low self-esteem issues. Suicide is an indication of someone who is weak, a failure and a coward.

I know there's Jollibee's, Chowking and others. But there was really cheap place similar to Chowking and I thought it was called Quick Stomach or something similar to that (in terms of the name being of that feeling). Does anyone know what restaurant I'm referring to?

Why are Asian children the biggest targets for pedophiles?

This is a serious question, so I am not trying to offend anyone. If you have a website or know any books about this, I would appreciate it.
