Kind of strange so many people spend like crazy on fashion, when they wear a uniform all day long.


Maybe that's why? Some kind of craving?

Fashion is uniformed in a way as well. My flatmate and me have this joke on how we can tell how old a Japanese woman is by looking at her haircut.

Speaking of haircuts....I remember walking around Tokyo and seeing at least two obaasans, on different occasions, with dyed blue hair...it was the weirdest friekin' thing.

Is it one of those life crysis moments? :sweat: Nothing scarier than an old lady who wants to look like her grand daughter. :bleh:

or like the pink panther or a prune :sweat: I think I saw the whole colour range in Nagoya. And only worn by elderly chic ladies, over 70 year old. :sweat:
Unfortunately I never enquired on the why.

Haha...yeah I see your point...but can you imagine going to the beach with that writhing mass of humanity...if you saw that many people at Hermosa, Santa Monica, or Long Beach there would be a few dozen murders, at the least.

I couldn't do it: I hate crowds... I'd be dying to get out of that mess.

Not Hermosa, maybe the other two, though. :beaten: :hehe:

Acclimate yourself to hordes of humanity before you go to Japan...while it won't be as bad as that picture....you won't be enjoying the comfort of your Bavarian Motor Works while travelling from place to place. :beaten:

Hopefully the people will be clothed, particularly those who are fitness-challenged. :beaten:

Don't worry about...people there tend to dress up more than us slobs in America. Heck, I was the only one wearing shorts there, or so it seemed.

I saw plenty of short skirts. :sweat: :beaten:
