I realise this is a joke, but do you?

I was in Japan in the early 1980s for a holiday for 3 weeks. Loved the Japanese gardens etc, especially in Kyoto & saw the cherry blossom around Japan, well worth seeing.

On a different level of other "cultural interests" they did have vending machines on the streets for school girls' used underpants!

I didn't buy any as in that era I already had "too much interest" in a person with blond hair which so many of these young girls has never seen before.

I lived in Tokyo during the 1980s. The trains were always a crush, and the women were always complaining about groping. Old guys used to read risque comics.

The high-rise buildings in my area had bars on the windows (for suicide prevention). Sit-down toilet cubicles had usage instructions on the wall.
