Rice flour to rescue ramen?

I read with great interest the July 13 editorial "The price of ramen," because I've been working on an article on ramen in America. Undoubtedly, rising prices for this convenient foodstuff will be a challenging problem for some time.

Leadoff street view seems lame

Regarding Debito Arudou's July 8 Zeit Gist article, "Beware the foreigner as guinea pig": I couldn't help but notice the curious order in which opinions about the article were placed in Views From the Street (at the bottom of the page).

Not all foreigners treated equally

Regarding Jim Chambers' July 13 letter, "Treated better than the natives": Chambers sounds as if he has spent his 35 years in Japan in a Roppongi-like lifestyle where foreigners are actually treated better than the natives.
