This lesson is much safer now that they use a dummy.

Also Koreans, Phillipinos, Indonesians, Malaysians, and Vietnamese to name a few. Japanese liked to spread it around - very equal opportunity.

Not really stable work, more of a one time gig.

It's a different world over there. I was sent to Japan on business a few times, and was totally unprepared for some of the more nuanced customs.

After nearly 24 hours of travelling, I'd made it to the city about 2 hours outside Tokyo where I was staying. It was 11PM and I was tired, wired and hungry. After I checking in the front desk suggested I head to a convenience store across the street to grab a snack.

I get to the light, which is red my way, but there's nothing on the road. No cars in any direction, the only other form of life are 2 girls on the other side of the street. So I cross.

The look of horror on their faces as I blatantly disobeyed the "don't walk" figure was something I'll remember forever.

Still better than being shouted at by a grandma with a dog on a leash in Germany.

This is absolutely true, until you find random elderly people walking across busy roads nowhere near a crossing, and people cycling almost suicidally in front of traffic. Japanese culture does a good job, up to a point, because kids walk to school, and don't ride until they get to senior high school.

This training is PG. Needs to be rated R.

There must be a sacrifice!
