Where I lived in Shizuoka, in my local supermarket, every lane was the slow lane. Gotta count those pennies at the checkout
today when i was gonna pay for a bunch of flower i bought in the flower/plant section of the supermarket, an old lady was there slowly trying to pay for her purchase. i don’t mind waiting but she seem to have been startled by my presence and it took her more time to get the coins from her purse. now that i think of it, i probably should have look around on the display and let her finish first so that it won’t seem to her that she’s making gaijin-san wait.

A former Maiko’s tweet accusing Geisha culture of sexual exploit of underage girls went viral. この世から抹消されるかもしれんけど、これが舞妓の実態。当時16 歳で浴びるほどのお酒を飲ませられ、お客さんとお風呂入りという名の混浴を強いられた(全力で逃げたけど)。これが本当に伝統文化なのか今一度かんがえていただきたい。写真はお客さんと山崎18年一気飲み大会で勝利した時と飲酒 pic.twitter.com/0kdXDZHML8…
