Is it true about Japan

That they have vending machines where you can buy used girls knickers? I refuse to google this as I'm scared of the truth.

it used to be true but they banned them

They do still have beer vending machines.

They banned them? First watmm in China and now this in Japan? Fucking hell.

It's the other way around, actually. Joyrex banned China.

It browses the LTM forum now.

lol

That's a lol.

It's not like they were all over the place. THey had like a couple in the seedier areas of Roppongi, and shinjuku, probably some of the other smaller wards as well.

The beer vending machines are a godsend.

Is there no legal drinking age in Japan then?

It's 20 there.

But surely kids can just walk up to these machines and grab a beer right?

I bought from one when I was 19.

I also bought a bottle of whiskey for the trip home. This brand, actually:

2.7 litres of whiskey, fuck lol.

How much is 2580 yen in English moneys? Or American?

Yeah of course it's entirely possible but it mostly just doesn't happen. It's the same in Korea, kids walk in all the time to convenience stores and buy beer or smokes for their parents, but they don't abuse the system.

Mostly because the respect for societal order is ingrained in these cultures . Of course there are always the bad applese, but they mostly either straigten their shit out, or they join the gangs (and these aren't street gangs, they're well-disciplined organizations).

But the thing about Japanese vending machine culture is basically, if you don't want to talk to another human, you could easily do so for weeks in Japan.

Yeah, I was really surprised by how well behaved people are over there. Tokyo is the largest city in the world and has extremely low crime.

If you drank the entire bottle I'd have no doubt you would die. Thats the stuff they clean the side of ships with.

I was in Sapporo (5th largest city) this summer, and walking through the center of the city. I walked for 40 minutes. In that time I heard a car honk its horn ONCE.

true story.

damn nikka!
