so i was talking to my coworker who studied in japan for the past 3 months. she was telling me about this "fad" that they have over there--i forget what they're called. 15 year old girls prostituting themselves....they have this website where you like put your phone number on and men contact them...take them to karaoke bars where they get piss-drunk and "have a good time." She said that the girls never admit to having sex w/ these men but I think it's assumed. And the girls do this b/c they need extra money to buy designer stuff. Then she asked a japanese friend of hers if she knew anyone that did that and the girl said yeah. And she seemed to think it was perfectly normal. When asked why she didn't do it....the girl said that she really didn't need the money b/c she wasn't into expensive stuff. Isn't that weird?! Weird ol' Japs hehe. And she said that the really old ppl and our generation japanese are perfectly cool to foreigners but the middle aged ppl dont' like foreigners and they just want them out. I thought that was weird too--well mostly about the really old ppl cuz of the war and everything. so i thought that was an interesting tidbit i'd share w/ y'all.
