I am planning a trip to Japan. It's going to be interesting seeing all the weird things that you won't see anywhere else. I started thinking about what I would like to find to document. Just find the craziness and take pictures. If you have good suggestions, I will add them to the list.

So far, I have come up with:

1 - Girl dressed as a nazi
2 - Man doing something really pervy..like trying to take upskirt camera shots, or skulking around outside a high school.
3 - A vending machine that sells panties.
4 - One of those super toilets that wash and blow dry your rear end
5 - A picture of a magazine stand with normal anime stuff being shown alongside hardcore shemale tentacle action hentai is a thing to look for (Courtesy of Japanese Phone Box)
6 - ???

Clearly, I am not very creative or don't know the depths of insanity that awaits in the land of the rising sun.

Is this something that is common there? Seems more like something you'd find in Russia.

make sure you tell everyone you know that you're going to japan... especially if you are white and pasty. try to work asian words like namaste into everyday conversation. if you do things like this, you will be really cool and interesting

I went there several years ago and those super toilets are pretty cool. Like, why can't we have heated toilet seats here like it's a normal thing.

Also saw an electric trumpet.

You can also try to find a french guy carrying a shitload of old videogames in bags and a old NEC PC-88 on his back, going back to his tiny hotel room after a day of shopping. Yes it will be easy to spot one in Akihabara.

Could you explain this more? Are you saying it is common for tourists to go there and buy old used video game crap?

I'll note that down. Thanks for the heads up. I had been planning on checking out Kansai, so that works perfectly.

Maybe we could do this together. You could dress as a geisha and I'll dress as Uncle Sam. I'll gently caress you in the rear end in front of the memorial while screaming I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
