    Sudo told police that he felt relaxed when he surrounded himself with the underwear

    This is the best euphemism ever! It's up there with all the pervs who take up-skirt photos to "relieve stress".

    Buggerlugs: calm down - the market wasn't just closed to foreigners, it was closed to all visitors, that's why the new tourist info pamphlets are also in Japanese.

    At least it sounds like someone got him to have a shower before getting on the plane, can you imagine having to sit next to a tramp for 12 hours? If I had money for flights to and from Mexico and three months to spare I'd be off the plane…
