The Japanese were a never ending source of hilarity and fun when I lived there. Their penchant for the odd, the ability to have fun with the utmost seriousness has always astounded me. Hard to believe that this was once a feudal empire that ravaged the world. Hard to believe that they still hold the samurai ethic in their work practices when they are capable of so much fun (ever get trapped in a Japanese karaoke bar?)
I wish life was longer so that I could spend a larger chunk of it living in Japan.
