The Japanese are a smart bunch....

This is so Japanese. So naive. This short post is not to be mean towards them as a whole, but i think most people would agree that the Japanese are a herd society. When the crosswalk light is red and i decide to cross anyway, they all follow me like sheep. What they fail to do is look both ways (like a sensible person would do) and then they get confused when a taxi comes roaring down the mini street blaring his horn. They do things in packs. There really is safety in numbers. Individually they are smart people, but when you put them together in front of some sort of authority figure, they loose all street smarts they might possess. Take this article as an example. My favorite part of the story is that the guide told them that their offering was too small!

I will be leading "tours" for the next few days, i will let you know how it goes.
