    How do you feel about the Narita incident and "guinea pig" foreigners?

    Yuko Uehara : It only applies to gaijin, right? Well, then I think it's OK. We need to be strict on gaijin and keep our country uncontaminated and homogeneous even though I'm a student of foreign literature.
    Nanami Aikawa: I agree. Gaijin are the only ones who sometimes try to not pay. They don't respect our system.
    Yuko Uehara
    : Yes, and we should start decreasing the number of native teachers. They are plain useless. This country spends too much money on native language teachers but we are still crap at foreign languages.
    Nanami Aikawa: Right. I can never understand what they are talking about.
    Yuko Uehara: Take for example my French teacher Pierre-Louis Vigne and English teacher John Broe. They are just so weird. The first is always bragging about not paying kokuho or chihouzei. They should be the first ones to be deported. They are ruining my student career.
    Nanami Aikawa: Fingerprinting and photographing at airports are not enough. Before re-entering the country, foreigners must also show proof of local tax and national health insurance payments as well as proof of having paid their NHK fee as we all Japanese pay them.
    Yuko Uehara: Do we?
