If you've ever seen those little silver, circular trays on arcade cabinets in Japan, those are ash trays. People smoke in those cramped, little cabins while they play arcade games. I wanted to watch a friend of mine beast on some Street Fighter, but I couldn't stand the smoke.
I've heard it's different now, there are designated smoking areas, but holy shit, they smoked like chimneys when I was there.
And there's so much fucking oil and salt in everything they eat and I don't ever remember seeing one Japanese person eating a salad. They like their oily, salty, fatty goodness just as much as we do. And they'll crack an egg over just about anything for extra goodness.
