    Despite being a world apart, I just realized Japan and UK have a lot of similarities.
    - Constitutional Monarchies
    - Drives on the left
    - Island Nations
    - Islands off of a major populated continent
    - Once empires
    - Powerful navies
    - Exhibit Immense Soft power today

    When I went to Japan with my best friend in June, we went to a maid cafe called Maidreaming in Akihibara, Tokyo (it was actually in a Sega building on the top floor of an arcade) It was a lot of fun, albeit trippy! The fourth girl on the right in the factoid was actually our server. All of the maids were cute and over the top. Japan was a blast.

      TylarX_ GamingYt It isnt a dub. A dub is a show that originally aried in a certain language that gets aired in another country with subtitles or voiceovers in another language, which the same actors. So, Power Rangers is not a dub.

      What are your sources for Zimbabwe using Japanese currency? Because I am Zimbabwean and have never heard of this. There have been rumors about the government allowing the use of the Chinese currency, but those have yet to be confirmed and I don't know anyone who has tried using it. Zimbabwe has been using the U.S. dollar for several years and is currently pending the issuing of its own 'bond notes'.

    #26 is NOT true. During Nuclear testing in the 70s, Khazakstan was bombed by Russia TENS of times, and so was algeria to france. The UK and the USA both bombed in areas inbetween the Nevada border to ~500 miles west of San Fransisco, and India and Pakistan have quite suspically nuked eachother around Kashmir and Jammud or whatever that place is called. Also, North Korea (dont quote me on this fact) has bombed areas inside its country like 5 times (dont quote me on that one, even if they hadnt they probably will considering how... odd of a country they are.)

      do you know about hanako san, aka manto and kuchisake onna? no.
      kokkuri san is the spirit of a girl from the world war II who commited suicide and now haunts the 3rd stall of girl bathrooms . if you knock three times before entering and asking "are you there, hanako san?" (like in bloody mary) she says I am here. however it's not known if she actually kills you.
      aka manto was said to be a attractive and handsome man who now haunts bathrooms. he will ask you if you want red paper or blue paper. if you answer red you will be left drenched in your own blood, pick blue and you will be suffocated to death. asking any other colour or trying to outsmart him will cause aka manto to drag you to hell. the only way to survive is to refuse the offer.
      kuchisake onna or the slit mouthed woman is a urban legend about a man who killed his own spouse, in most versions because he believed she was cheating on him and slit her mouth ear to ear shouting "who will think you are pretty now?". if you encounter her, she asks if she is pretty, if you say no she kills you with her scissors but if you say yes she reveals her face and asks how about now? if you say no this time, she cuts you in half but if you say yes, she cuts your mouth ear to ear to make it look like hers. you can escape by saying she is average or asking if you are pretty, causing her to become confused and give you time to leave, another way is to say you have to meet your husband/wife so she will pardon her manners.

    I think you did a good job here, introducing both well-known and not-well-known sides of Japan in very limited time. Some are needed the background informations while a few sound quite weird but it is not so when you really are there or in middle of them, of course. The last one - I am not sure...The slurping, which is allowed during drinking and eating dishes with noodles, I do not think it is regarded as a good manner but just a way Japanese people do. And some people say that it helps the hot foods and drinks cool down a bit when you eat.

      While watching again, I noticed a few things about some of the pictures. KFC has Chinese signs. The arcade building is actually a public bath with barber and massage shops, some sports courts and arcades.
