What just happened?

We are back from Japan. It was ridiculous and hilarious, and it did not cease to entertain us with oddity. It was Heidi Montag's face.

There is so much to say about Japan that we're not really sure where to start. So we'll just throw some shit at you and hope that some of it sticks.

To describe it as concisely as we can, Japan - especially urban Japan - is like a bizarro USA on cocaine. Most aspects of western culture are well represented there, but they are often tweaked to some unexpected extremity. There are tons of different subcultures that seem hyper-obsessed with some particular niche of fashion or music. The pace of life is fast but always seems to be controlled and efficient. In fact this picture pretty much sums up Japan:

This guy was trying to face the camera for the picture but a last-second gust of westerly wind turned him right back around.

Like Japanese people, our Japan posts will be short and visually enchanting, and there will be many of them.
