Dogs.
Oh, one more thing. Everyone has dogs here. Little, tiny dogs.
I mean, it makes sense… little space, little dogs? But the Japanese seem to be obsessed with their tiny dogs.
Today I ran into a store, which I thought was for baby clothes. No. Oh no. I was so wrong. Don’t let the strollers outside fool you, those were strollers for your tiny dog. The clothes inside? Clothes for your tiny dog.
Now. I don’t like little dogs. I figure, you may as well get a cat. I also have something of a disregard for dogs dressed up in people clothes (with the exception of rachel’s dog charlotte – charlotte made quite the adorable bumble bee this Halloween.)

I’m pretty sure I remember Reed saying dogs were a status symbol. But I think he said big dogs. As in, if you have a big dog you’ve obviously done well for yourself because you must have room for it!
Something like that anyways.
