Having travelled from Tokyo on the bullet train the night before, Enda and entourage left the city of Nagoya at the crack of dawn to visit the Toyota City car production plant.
It’s the second oldest “prant” in Japan, as our guides told us.
…Before touring the building, the visitors were treated to a “pree-zen-tation” on the wonders of Toyota by the prant’s “external affairs” man, who sounded like a cross between Ron Burgundy and Kent Brockman from The Simpsons.
A prant worker gave a little speech but nobody understood a word he said…
Gulp..

Complete unnecessary casual racism within Miriam Lord's article. I'm normally a fan of her work but that was unacceptable.

Hmmm….if a Japanese newspaper ran a piece about the Irish like that one Miriam Lord wrote today, I suspect there'd be trouble!
