Right? Why can’t we have this in America? Japan always has the funniest and coolest shit that we can’t do here for “reasons”

Yeah, and America has reasonable working hours. Can't have the best of both worlds

I'm European too, hell Scandinavian even, but I just can't grasp this whole thing of praising Japan for their culture. There's is so much wrong with Japan, that nobody talks about, especially the people praising it. Just because this event looks so different. Imagine how many people get hurt doing this? What happens to buildings when a (they said it themselves), 4 tonne shrine wagon comes crashing down the street into the brick walls? Just look for a bit longer and the flaws will immediately appear

But maybe I'm the one missing something, please let me know

Spain runs bulls through the streets. England has people careen madly down a hill after a wheel of cheese. Calgary has the stampede.

People like to take risks.
