Get's hobby!

Over at Lee's blog http://www.lee-chapman.com/tokyo_times/2004/02/oh_dear.html he observed:

"I don?t know whether you are aware of it or not, but groping on trains is not exactly uncommon in Japan. It?s so prevalent in fact, that it could almost be viewed as a hobby....
This is when 47 year-old Mitsuru Nagasaki stepped up to join the fray. Kindly taking it upon himself to help a group of falsely accused men. Now the only problem with this is that he has gone and got himself a suspended six month prison sentence.
And for what? Surreptitiously taking a photograph up the skirt of a woman sitting opposite him on the subway. That?s what.


All I can add is that the "standard" (inane) question that all Japanese are required by law to ask aliens is: "What is your hobby?"
I always have answered, "CHIKAN desu." (Molester)...Not one Japanese in 20+ years balked at that hobby. Go figure.
