    Not a question, but the concept of a guest being obliged to pay to attend a wedding completely boggles my mind. I'd never attend another wedding if that were a universal custom.

    I genuinely enjoy reading Maciamo's observations about Japan and the Japanese, but i'd just make one observation: he does live in Tokyo, and i wonder if that colors his perceptions at all.

    I have OCD, and I have yet to meet a Japanese person who knew what that was, really. When I've explained it to them, almost invariably i've gotten "Why don't you just think positively, forget about...

    I trim there regularly with scissors. It's just part of normal hygiene for me. Shaving is not recommended as the hair can become *****ly. I also trim underarms with scissors as it really does help to...

    Except that I would disagree that it looks pre-pubescent. It's really reaching to equate the two concepts. It looks like an adult that has used scissors or a razor.

    And yes, it would not be rude...

    I would echo some of kirei's ideas, but there are some exceptions. I'm only somewhat hairy on my chest and stomach (nowhere else thanks <_<), but none of the Japanese women i've known hated it and...
