Imagine if they were giving a Hello Kitty away wih every Apple purchase? The line would reach close to Osaka and the store would be sold out. But I'd be willing to bet that most of those people were happy once they made it in. Japan is a big supporter of Apple products.

That was a close shave!

Got to love engrish, it sounds more like scooby doo though.

One problem, the camera person was so focused on showing the length of the line, he failed to slow down for the really cute/hot Japanese women. Am I offensive, yes. Am I regretting the fact that I no longer work in Japan, you betcha (okay, only a little bit).

On a serious note though, I did live in the south of Japan for 9 months (Fukuoka) and the only time I ran into a really long line there was every time I needed a "quick" trip to the bank/post office/govn't office in order to make an express train, and ended up being 10 seconds late. Damn you punctual train service. Damn you to hell.

I only visited Tokyo once and was there on a weekend so I never experienced the true craziness that can be the Tokyo subway system. I was never paddled into a car if you will. Up too late.

What did you do in Japan, if you don't mind my asking? Would love to have a job there. Working out of Singapore now, and have been to most of Asia, but think Japan would be a trip working there for a few years (followed by Shanghai, BKK and HK).

...In the rain, too.

My goodness.

I taught English, poorly. Finding an English teaching job is a piece of piss, but can get rather monotonous rather quickly. PM me if want the gory details. I'm actually very interested in working other places in Asia, especially Chinese speaking areas so I'd love to hear your stories. But I suppose this is neither here nor there.
