Polite Japan

Well it is a myth that Japanese are polite. As proof I offer the Ueno Zoo on
a warm Sunday afternoon. Half of Tokyo will be there, and they will all want
to see the animals. And most of them will consider it vital that they see,
at least far more important than you see anything. And once they have seen,
it will be crucial that they move on to the next exhibit so that they can
scare those animals with their camera flashes.

That said, it was fun. Just exceedingly busy.
