Quote from TOP
I don't age has much to do with it, but they are typically young..
Actually, age has
everything to do with being a bi
shounen. The opposite of bishounen is "shibui", which expresses a sort of quiet and elegant masculinity (mostly from older men).

Most toilets usually have at least one western style cubicle. In some public places, (parks, subways), traditional toilets outnumber western ones. Why? Because they're considered more sanitary (as no part of your body actually touches the bowl). Toilets in shopping malls, schools, and restaurants are usually western-style, or mixed. Toilets in private homes are usually western style, as there are no issues of sanitation there. XD

Is
kancho really as popular amongst the kids as made out in
Gaijin Smash? (warning: some foul language is present)
It really is popular among little kids, but it's not as "violent" as people make it out to be. Most of the time it's just a very,
very mild poke. XD They don't actually make sure it goes in, you know. These westerners and their exaggerations...
Quote from Pimea
I also heard that large drinks in vending machines are the same price as small drinks; true/false?!
Very false. When I was living in Japan (until 2 years ago), a can of soda is 120yen. A 2L bottle of soda is 250yen. As for other drinks, it really depends on what drink it is...not the size. An energy drink would cost more than a soda, for example, even if it's smaller. But coffee (which usually comes in a small package) costs less than a soda (which is bigger).
