10 Things Japan Does Wrong

1. Pizza

If you want an easy meal in the US, pizza is usually the answer. With beautiful, doughy crust, hot mozzarella cheese, and a light taste of tomato sauce, it’s hard to mess up. Japan, however, has decided that if you want a real pizza, you’re going to have to pay about 30 dollars for a large, and if you want an oven pizza, it’s going to be sprinkled with corn and bellpeppers (yum!).

2. Driving

If you don’t believe me, read my first post ever. It’s absolutely true. Maybe they’re skilled, but I get the feeling that in addition to being skilled, they really don’t care about anyone else’s life on the road.

3. English

Okay, arguably they do it hilariously, but invariably, they have problems with English grammar and (sometimes) propriety.

4. Sunrise

Sunrise should never happen at 4:30 am. Never.

5. Single-speed bikes

Seriously, why? Why are they so popular that I can’t find anything else?

6. Super-markets

Because sometimes I want to buy limes for less than a dollar-fifty apeice.

7. Beer prices

I think this is rather self-explanatory though unaccountable considering that all other types of alcohol are exceedingly cheap. The picture illustrates the lower end of the price scale.

8. Wifi at school

At OU, its wonderfully easy to get on wifi. All you need is a computer. At Ritsumeikan, all you need is an ID, Password, PPOE config, and a Proxy. Yeah, I think that covers it.

9. Centipedes

Read the rest of the blog to get the story, but centipedes are creepy and Japan has them. Thus, it’s wrong.

10. Analog tv

You’d be surprised how much TV around here really stinks unless you have real cable and a tv that can decode BS/CS programming.
