Why do I miss Japan?

Found an excellent video at dannychoo.com that nicely encapsulates a couple of the reasons I loved that place.

Yes, that guy in the plastic outfit is just cruising around Tokyo, looking for places to dance. On it's own, that'd be pretty entertaining. But he's done it often enough that lower-level celebrities want to dance with him.
But look at the people going by. This seems to be taking place around midafternoon, and no one passing by is even slowing down. Oh, sure, a crowd gathers to takehttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif some pictures once they're in a giant white box. Otherwise, though, it's just business as usual. Salarymen go to work, ko-gals ditch school to hang out somewhere, and a guy in plastic armor tries to bust a move for no reason other than he feels like it. And no one gives him any grief for it.
Hell, other times they join in.

update: bonus video dancing with the dark lord of the Sith. Amazingly, they don't try to freak any of the people who dance between them. Some things can remain pure. Sorta.
