Which begs the question.

 

What is with the Japanese? Fantastic heavy technology, robotics, highest education; yet it's the land of Hello Kitty, insane game shows, and things like this ;)

Escapism.  Long hours at work/school, lots of stress, high levels of societal/peer pressure.  Entertainment here is escapism at its best, a concentrated dose of get-away-from-reality-for-a-short-moment-before-its-time-to-hit-the-grind-AGAIN.

Hi Hobofat, I agree, my wife is Japanese and she has asome great stories of waking up early and coing home late.....and thats just school! Will be going to Japan in May to catch up with inlaws and some friends so might check one of these out :) Pachinko halls are everywhere, and Akihabara is a place to get lost in for sure!

 

Go on Chris, you know you want one :)

 

Next question......how to convince the airport staff that it is carry on luggage :)

 

Slainte,
