Wait sorry if I have this wrong but do girls shave off their arm hair in Japan? As in forearm hair?

nah man, they don't have any, at least majority does not have any.

Only thing I found weird about Japan was that there are porn in just about every store you go to (which is a good thing for me anyways )

Other than that haven't found anything strange/weird.

I am glad you enjoy watching moving pixels, and find it so uplifting.

Hahahahahahaha

Oh, sorry.

They don`t have any because they shave it off.
Unshaved girls usually have pretty dark arm hair.

Want proof? Look at girls who are too young to be shaving their arms but who are old enough to start getting hairy. It doesn`t all just magically fall out.

Women in Japan also shave their faces. You can buy special razors for this, and no, they`re not just for old women or between the eyebrows.

Do japanese girls have mustache?

Also, what's so bad about a self-hugging machine? some people don't have any other options...

And how come no one mentioned the way the japanese and the westerners take baths?
(or did I miss it? sorry if so)...

They do if they don`t shave, wax, or remove it in some other way. It`s normal, and everyone just takes care of it.

Back on topic - one of the first things that struck me as being incredibly different - people riding their bicycles... with umbrellas.
That was my big culture shock moment.
