Japan - In All Seriousness

Some trite observations on Japan:

- The toilet seats, even public ones, are heated. And people don't tend to pee on them, for some odd reason.

- Japan has public baths where lots of people hang out naked. Which is awesome, because it's normal and comfortable and natural. (Genders are seperated). It would do America some good.

- Early Christian missionaries to Japan said that Japanese was schemed up by the devil to confound Westerners. After a month of trying to learn it, I'm half convinced.

- They have great, great salad dressing.

- Everyone smokes.

- Their TV shows have far smaller budgets than ours.

- Technological obsession is rampant.

- Their cell phones are nifty.

- The babies and elderly are adorable.

- Old ladies look like their skeletons hurt. Lack of calcium?

- Grammar made me giggle, like the FULL OPEN container pictured above. "Full Open Keeper is give support to such an all persons at try one's best to do indoor and outdoor sports. Let's have a sports time."
- Lots of people wear T-shirts with bad english on them. My favorite said, "There is a good electric stapler"

I'll write about things that matter at some point. Honest...
