Crazy Japan

I sometimes get homesick for Japan. I'll admit I didn't have to deal with the troublesome bits of Japanese society, such as the sexism and issues with individuality. It is such a polite. I once left my purse on the train. I managed to get it back within an hour. I lost my cell phone, and got it back (by borrowing a cell phone from a German and calling it. The German translated for the nice old man who found it). My neighbor helped me break into my house when I left my keys on the ship.

So the story of a jobless man who is given a million yen is cool. I'm not surprised he turned it into the police. My favorite line is "Japan has seen a string of cases in which large sums of cash have been left anonymously in people's mailboxes or public toilets." How cool would that be. A string of such stories!
