    Watching a strip show at a theatre.

    Just say "Wakarimashita" when they ask if you understand the rules. Don't try to touch the performers. Do not take any pictures, unless you line up and pay for the use of the provided camera at the end of each performance. If you live in Japan, ask for a point card. If you are over 60, bring...

    Read Any Good Books Lately? Part II

    Great! It's translated in English, so I'll put it on my list. Oh well, different strokes and all that. Grotesque seems apropos to a few local situations. Natsuo Kirino does not script a sympathetic character in the novel, so there's no real hero. Her use of multiple narrators, outside...
