Yeah, my brother's a lucky chap... and also a lazy bastard who owes me over $2000 for the last two years. All the while he takes a trip to Japan to see her without even telling me

Once you get to know them well enough (we lived there three years, which is kinda short I guess) some of that weirdness kind of goes away. Or maybe you just get used to it

I think the Japanese have similarities to the west in many situations, more than many give them credit for, certainly there's enough to make the government and the elderly disapprove.

Anyway, social differences and similarities aside, those are great pictures tyrant, tell your friend Arigato Gozaimasu from me.
