BakuTen – note the Japanese culture

This video on YouTube is fun: BakuTen – house of dominos.

Note the Japanese cultural elements, like:

  • The small apartment (house?), crammed with stuff
  • Huge numbers of CDs and video tapes
  • Timber floor
  • The squat toilet
  • The Japanese bath (always remember: shower first, soak only in bath)
  • Finding meaning in trivia…
