I've been entering this site every day for the last ¿4 or 5 years?. Even though I'm not participatory at all, I always read your comments, so let's say I can "guess" what your opinion would be, by and large. This time I wasn't surprised by this great one-shot, but by your comments... "Welcome to a ¿very? normal situation in Japan!" (only in Japan? Definitely not), I should say.
Just out of curiosity... Are you that shocked 'cause you're younger than me and you usually don't see such situations? (btw, I'm 31). Maybe, it depends on the country, culture, or a mix of the above.
Seems interesting
