OK. I’ll be honest. I was drinking a beer on the way home from work. You got me. That’s it. They were thinking, “how could someone sit on the train and drink beer.” Despicable, right? nah. That couldn’t be it. So what could it be? Or how about this one. I would love to ask an elderly person what they think I should do or not do now in order to have a nice retirement and death dive. I couldn’t ask the same question in America because of the religious overtones of everything. I would get answers like, “Love Jesus”, “Join the Elks club”, “Play bingo at the church”, and “Ask your grandma, she knows everything.” In Japan, the same question would return some pretty interesting answers I think; “Get in with the hospital staff so you can get tons of free medicine”, “Find someone’s kid you can spoil”, “Learn how to make young people feel guilty when there isn’t a seat on the bus”, and “Buy a Joba.” Now if I could just understand old people Japanese, I might have a chance.
