I wish I could say it stops there, but actually, it gets worse. Let me introduce you to a game Japanese kids like to play called "Kancho."
Actually, it's not so much a "game" as it is kids clasping their hands together, sticking out their first fingers, and shoving them up your butt. I'm really not joking.
You know, before we come to Japan, they tell us a lot of ultimately useless stuff. What kind of computer to bring, if our DVD's will work, clothing sizes, that kind of nonsense. Nowhere, and I mean nowhere, in the 3-4 months of orientations did anyone ever mention that at some point, a Japanese kid may try to stick their fingers up our butt. That's something I would have liked to know, personally.
It's called Kancho, and just about any kid can be a Kancho Assassin. Even the sweetest little girl may be prone to jam her fingers up your ass the second you turn around. This happened to one of my friends, which just goes to show - don't trust anyone. I'd say the little girls are the most dangerous cause they have natural ways of lowering your defenses.
I was pretty lucky. Before I came, I bought a really big, really baggy pair of pants. The kids try to Kancho...but they just have no idea where my ass is! It's beautiful! I had one kid try and find his fingers hit nothing but jean fabric and air. Yes! But I've actually gotten pretty good at dodging it, much like Spider-man I have developed a Kancho Sense that tells me where and when it's coming before it comes. I parry fingers like a pro. My record is still 100% Kancho Free. Ha! America 2, Japan 0.
All in a day's work I suppose.
Doesn't that work both ways?the men here love breasts but the women just don't have them.
At one of my schools, there's this ichinensei girl who is, without question, The Sweetest Girl in the Universe. She's very cute, very polite, always smiling, and is really bubbly. Everyone kind of dotes on her, but you would too, SHE'S SO FREAKING SWEET.
Anyway, she and some other girls were doing a special English drill. In this particular workbook, there was, in my opinion, a rather odd exercise. The other girls would say "So and so, you're a good soccer player!" and the girl who was named would then say "No, I'm not. I'm a bad soccer player. I'm a very bad soccer player." I can only guess that this has something to do with Japanese culture, and their tendency to deny compliments rather than accept them.
So these girls were doing this exercise in turns, and I read ahead to see what Ultimate Sweetness would be responding to. I almost fell over in my chair when I saw it. It was completely innocent, sure, but I knew exactly how my young male mind would hear it. I panicked - I had to stop this from happening, somehow. But I couldn't think of what to do. In my hesistation, the exercise proceeded, and the moment I feared came to be.
Other Girls: "You're a good girl!"
The Cutest, Sweetest Girl in the Universe: "No, I'm not! I'm a bad girl. I'm a very bad girl."
I'm going to hell.
Pretty much any girl who develops a decent set, her family may as well just pull her out of school because she's got a career as an actress/model/porn star guaranteed.

Haha, Kancho. So that's where Sennen Goroshi (Thousand Years of Pain) in Naruto came from.
Row! You incomprehensible, horizontal-eyed, western trouser-wearers!
You all look the same to me! How I despise your lack of subtlety and your joined-up writing!
You, who have never committed ritual suicide in your lives!
...Unceremonious rice-pudding eaters!
How I abominate your milk-drinking and your lack of ancestor worship and your failure to eat your lunch out of little boxes!
...Your big-breasted women give me no pleasure with their warmed-up fish!

Japanese kids say the darnest things
At the ghetto school, I was walking around outside after classes, visiting the various sports clubs. As I came up to the girls basketball club, one ichinensei girl (the "breasts" girl by the way) greeted me with "Yo awesome dude!"
...I hate MTV.
She then asked me what it meant. Sigh. I told her it was kind of a greeting...but it was really bad so never use it. She didn't quite get it, so I gathered her and her friends around for storytime. I tried my best in simple Japanese to explain American history and slavery and the origins of that word. I said it was very bad and to please never use it again.
They seemed to listen the best they could, and when I finished, Breasts Girl showed her appreciation by giving me a heartfelt "Thanks awesome dude!"
...I really hate MTV.

They went back to working on the skit, but CB1 came up to the front of the class at one point to ask me a question. For some unexplained reason, as he came, he decided to point out all the students in the class who'd had sex. "Yeah...she's had sex, her too, him, her, and oh yeah, those two had sex with each other." He pointed to a boy in the first row and a girl in the second. They both looked up at him as he said this, and in response he said simply "Yeah, you guys had sex together." The girl, embarrased, giggled, while the boy gave me a "Yeah, I hit that." sheepish smile. This particular boy is really good, and a great English student, if not a bit on the geeky side, so I was kind of happy. Ok, I know, I know! Fifteen-year olds having sex is just wrong and I don't condone it, not in the least. But I still kind of wanted to give him a high-five.
But if nothing else, I was really impressed with CB1's intelligence-gathering skills. The CIA should hire him ASAP.

Doesn't exactly work that way. Most of it is genetics- where the body wants to store the fat. Many girls never develop a good rack. Has nothing to do with how fat the rest of them is. A girl with a big rack will be big even if she's 10% bodyfat. Meanwhile a girl that's flat will be pretty flat even if she's a porker.

like with most biology its both genetic and condition: women who excercise and lose weight notice reduction in breast size
