Japan has so many unusual customs, a foreigner can spend a lifetime studying the minutae. Check out this list of questions and answers. If you've ever been to Japan, it will clear up a lot of questions you may have had. Here's one example: Q. "[How do you explain] the frequency of Japanese people (usually women) running or jogging for no apparent reason. A. I once teasingly asked a female with whom I worked why she always did a sort of feigned jog to and from the copier, especially since her jog was slower than her walk. The humour wasn't lost on her, but she explained that many Japanese do this at work because the appearance of urgency is important in more traditional office environments. You don't have to truly run around frantically, but just offer the gesture.

Crowded? No problem.
They've managed to overcome the problem of overcrowding with a very clever solution -- just pretend like it's not. Centuries of Zen principles probably come in handy.

There's some moments in this video where I caught myself clapping and cheering. Sure, in 200 years when we've been brought to the brink of extinction by our robot overloards, we know who to blame. But in the meantime, I say, "Awesome!"

In the US we can only get stale Doritos, months-old Oreos or the occasional hard-as-rock Twizzlers from a vending machine. In Japan, you can get a whole ramen meal.
