I don't doubt it. The bulimic population would be extinct if it weren't true.

true...doubt there are many bulimic ppl in japan...in general they just don't eat the shit the rest of the world does or as much of it....why do you think they have such long life expenctancies.

Yesh, they're way healthier than us North Americans. They're also a lot active than we are. I think their lifestyles in general are what ours should be, except we're just too darn lazy.

Tho it's also a geo thing. It's easier to walk everywhere in Japan (I'm assuming) than it is here. If I walked to teh supermarket, I'd be gone for like three hours. lol

Walk...you have no choice...you take the train and you walk...if you took a cab everywhere you'd be broke in three days....cabs are super expensive in japan....at least in the metro areas.

But they have one of the best public transportation systems in the world...with six jillion ppl per square meter you kind of have to or the society would cease to function.

Owning a car is very expensive as well. Fuel, maintenance, etc.

Not hardly :sweat: I meant the ramen stand. Which seem to be located on just about every corner. [/list:u]

yup, I went to Gas Panic in Shibuya...it was wack....it's a bar that seems to primarily attract a foreign crowd without much local flavor. Good location, crappy venue, lame crowd. I can excuse myself for going there for a while because we went there our first night..didn't know any better...our flight arrived in the early evening and rather than sleep after the 12 hour flight we figured we'd stay up all night so as to adjust our sleeping schedules to the local time.

for all intents and purposes there are too many places to go....as suggested above....it depends on what about japan interests you. modern life? technology? nature? ancient culture? hot springs? food?

[image][/list:u] @ 4red: Are you a baseball fan? If so, then you HAVE to go to Osaka and visit Koshien Stadium, home of the Hanshin Tigers, and the "Taigasu Fans" the craziest baseball fans, certainly in Japan, and possibly in the whole world. You haven't been to a baseball game until you've experienced the "rakketto fusen" (balloon racket) of the 7th inning stretch :woot:

It's funny you mention that because Author & Chef Anthony Bourdain visited Osaka in one episode of his travel show No Reservations...and he attended a Hanshin Tigers home game. It was truly crazy.

is it true that there's a monumen at the most southern place in japan hokaido i think???? (correct me if i'm wrong) :sweat: :sweat:
