the lightbulb scenario
a common site in japan has to be the 'how many men does it take to......?'. there really are some unfortunate jobs as a result. this picture clearly demonstrates the waste of man-power. four local authority workers trying to solve a major issue. what do you think? a bomb alert? anti-social neighbours? of course not - this time it is rogue rubbish tipping. and the perpetrator will be found!
seriously though - I guess this shows what the crime levels are like here. controvening recycling laws is really a social no-no here. a bit like drink driving now in the UK. most japanese drink drive though.
I heard about a colleague who had 4 workers attend a broken tap/faucet ceremony. they had to go away and get a washer. serious.
car parks usually have a lingering of attendants sweeping their light sabers at you to direct the way.
efficient but expensive. surely.
