This Does Not Help Clear the Japan Stereotypes (9)

Hello Kitty Bus at Tokyo Station
Honestly, Hello Kitty isn't as popular here as one would think. I think that other animal characters seem more popular in Japanese society such as Pooh-Bear, and Snoopy. I get the feeling that with all the Hello Kitty exposure in the USA related to Japan that my fellow Americans probably expect nothing less than buses such as the one shown above. Another thing, the more I look at that bus the more I realize that there is no way I could stand in the aisle without hitting my head against the ceiling.
From animated animals, to CGI monsters, you just aren't going to believe this little piece of Tokyo news I am about to reveal to you. So at Tokyo Disneyland a new ride opened on Saturday called "Monsters, Inc. Ride & Go Seek!" The wait to get on the ride reached over five hours that day! Once again this country leaves me shaking my head with my hands over my eyes asking "why?"

Hello Kitty is not one of my favorites. I never understood the appeal to anyone over six years old. I have to admit that the bus looks pretty cute, though! Beats the plain old buses around here.

Their patience is nice, but also seems to make them tolerate outrageous work hours.

Actually for me it's not weird anymore, well not anymore i mean because this things just happen in japan, japanese people are crazy in a good way, so it's funny in someway.
