Ari's Planet

Japan is nuts. I love Japan.

They bow to empty rows of pachinko machines.

They play pachinko.

They have cheap conveyor belt sushi.

They think we should get rid of atom bombs.

They have the most vile bean crud for breakfast.

Did I mention their awesome sushi?

They watch Red Sox vs. Yankees and sell hotdogs on the ferry to an offshore island.

They sleep on the floor.

They hate shoes in the house. They have special bathroom shoes. Their bathrooms are the
size of a shoebox. You need to buy yourself a bidet, TP is so 20th century. I won't visit
you unless you have slippers in a closet with a bidet. Plumbing optional.

They have perverts in their hotsprings. They have hotsprings every 5 meters.

They have plastic food models. Pay a vending machine for lunch. Their trains run on time.
They won't pick up a wallet if someone drops it.

Did I mention how godamn fucking hellishly hot it fucking is in this country? So godamned
hot that 31C is cool!

Their keyboards make no sense and magically jump in and out of Kanji, almost, but not quite, making me not believe in my Kanji superpowers.

They have a thousand buddhas in a hall. They have a thousand pachinko machines in a hall.

I love Japan.
