Here are a couple more videos. They kind of give you a feel for the strangeness of being in Japan . . . even though everything looks perfectly normal, it is not, because this is Japan.

They were having a sidewalk sale. This is an endearingly Western thing that would have been unheard of when I lived here in the early 90s.
Train passengers here are a bit zombie-like. It's as if we were all in a really big elevator together. They apply elevator behavior to being on trains; the shifty, nervous attempts to try to avoid all eye contact, however inadvertent; an invisible "Don't Even Think Of Touching Me" force field around all of them.
