personally i think japan did poorly at the olympics.
first time i watched the olympics on tv here in japan, and with all the hype about the japanese teams i was expecting way more.
if i watched it from my home country, id probably say that did a reasonable effort. though many mistakes.

The only time I've noticed a real difference in stock was when going from Osaka to Tokyo.
I thought the Disney Jewellry was exclusive to one shop, but i wanted to look around a bit more, turns out every other jewellry store had their own 'exclusive disney designs'
Really kills it when everything is so similar.

Things I hate about it:
10am open is a bit late.
Constant nasal irashaimaseeeee/arigatou gozaimasita (echoed by ALL staff members)
TIME SALES: Constant yelling, rushing, people desperately fighting for their brand name items. I don't need your megaphone pointed at my face.
How the staff talk to you and try upsell stuff. I was looking at a jacket and the guy started talking to me about the weather, etc. I don't give a damn really. If I want your opinion/help I'll ask for it. I just find them irritating. Plus, because many japanese people mistake me for being Japanese (because all foreigners are white people with blonde hair blue eyes still -_-) they keep talking to me. I think after the first No they would get the message.
Also, there isnt much variety.

There is something with Japanese mentality that taking a holiday is bad... Its such a pain to get relatives to come visit us because they keep saying its hard to take time off from work.
Everyone here is going to work themselves to death.
