Order gets sickening


Sometimes in Japan its easy to feel overwhelmed with order. Almost every worker knows their job perfectly, so perfectly if you might ask them to perform something out of the ordinary they usually say no. Rules are also followed to a T. The other night at a local festival with thousands of people of everywhere in the streets and alcohol flowing, the local police made sure every person knew where to be and definitely where not to be. In these high traffic situations often seen in Japan the few foreigners there always receive a few orderly yells "Move GAIJIN". This order to the way things work around here can become overwhelming at times and become somewhat sickening.
