[bodytext] => Japanese trains run on time; suicides don’t block the line and the seat have warmers built in —but locals won’t talk to the Gaijin Japanese love their porn anime and manga too; apparently schoolgirls in panties are made for salarymans’ fantasies Streets are ordered but chaotic; the buildings tasteful but shambolic and if you don’t speak the local dialect —you get no respect Alcohol’s in vending machines people smoke behind glass; quiet beggars dressed in white show some priests still have class but there are too many oddities; boxy cars and allergy trees weird game shows, and masked sycophants politely bowing to their knees among neon and smells to please …so I still don’t get the Japanese.
