OSAKA -- Despite corruption scandal after corruption scandal, there is still evidence that not all bureaucrats are bad. Driven by public interest, an army of elite government bureaucrats (and their corporate counterparts) are diligently investigating the really important issues that divide Kansai and Kanto. Here are some examples of what they have uncovered:
1) Kansai is better for picking up girls.
According to the Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Post and Telecommunications, the ratio of women to men is greater in the Kansai region. In Osaka, for example, there are 100 women for every 96.9 men. Guys living in Wakayama Prefecture have it even better: There, the female/male ratio is 100:90. By contrast, in Kanagawa Prefecture, there are 103 men to every 100 women, and in Saitama Prefecture, 102 men to 100 women.
