...wow.

I'm speechless. Is that as terrible as it sounds or am I a victim of an uptight Western culture?

[Dojo]

Does this place have an address?

Hm. Maybe I could start one in the states... It could be big!

It's not terrible... but I find it quite sad, to be honest. However, this ain't too different from places like Hooters where woman have to dress with skimpy outfits to attract customers. It's simply a different style adequated to the local customs (and fetiches).

If you want to have a good laugh at japanese bizarre customs, take a look at Outpost Nine (http://outpostnine.com/editorials/teacher.html). The editor is an american guy working as English teacher in Japan and his stories are quite hilarious, to say the least.

That, by far, is one of the most hilarious webpages I have ever been to. I'm still reading them all, heh
