I live in a country where...

more than once I've admired the fitness of man's legs only to look up and discover that they belong to a 60 year old.

you can see a man carefully pick weeds and other debris from his garden with a set of chopsticks.

a skirt that ends at the curve of the buttocks is perfectly acceptable but a v-neck invites comments like 'sekushi' - sexy.

I sometimes feel that I'm stuck in a Britney Spears video, other times MC Hammer (Can't touch this...)

it's acceptable for grown men to have a Winnie the Pooh charm hanging from their cell phones.

choreographed dances are practiced in virtually any open public space.

fruit is considered a delicacy and thus priced. I need not remind you of the mango and the watermelon.

children learn how to ride unicycles in elementary school. I never would've cut it as a Japanese child.

women still wear aprons. I secretely want to be a Japanese housewife.

it's not lame for your date to show up on a bike.

dogs have heart shaped spots on their coats.
