Brand names like Aichi I can understand, but KYOTO? It's a rather famous city, and it's only been around for hundreds of years...

Capone's right to use those quotation marks. Only in Japan have I seen a person walk into a "hospital" and get a full-body massage... as part of the treatment for a wrist injury.

The 'alternative' is a pat down? And that's so much better, is it?

Here's my question: What is the necessity of this procedure? What will be gained?

My question is how the kid got completely outside without the shopkeepers noticing, or doing anything.
