I went to Genki Sushi, Factoria. I really like Genki on Queen Anne and Broadway. But I was really disappointed at the food at Factoria. The neta (sashimi on top of sushi rice) is very small and rice are machine made with no human touch. There are rice and other junk on the floor under the table. I am sorry, I will not go there even if every plate is $1. It was not $1 yesterday. Don't waste your money going Genki in Factoria. I just hope other Genki became like Factoria.
I remember when Costco opened in Makuhari, Chiba, Japan. I used go there and found only few customers. Now, there is a line to get into the parking lot of all Costco. It is one of a success stories by US companies!

There are many products claiming that you will get free supplies for life. But when you look at the fine print, you must pay separate "Shipping & Handling" or "Shipping & Processing". Those separate fees are higher than the cost of supplies. I think it is a scam.
In the other side of the pond, in Japan, people must disclose shipping and handling fee on TV or any advertisements. In many cases, TV shopping price includes shipping now. That will make it much easier.

I stayed at New Otani in Tokyo and Intercontinental in Seoul. Both hotel has no free internet. Many cheaper business hotels provide free internet. Internet is such a basic service, all hotel should provide internet for free.
