This week Simon and Martina talk about a 'darker' side to Japan. They discovered a place in their Japanese suburb, that they've never explored before. At about 10pm, they decided to walk down a sketchy street and they found a Chinese restaurant that was a bit dingey inside. Outside the restaurant there were two possible prostitutes and no condiments on any tables, only cigarette trays. There were men in suits slapping a guy, and a man with bleached-blonde hair smoking in front of a no-smoking sign, in front of the police station. But, the duo don't feel in danger in Japan because as long as you mind your own business, no one will bother you. There's no confrontation if you don't create it...moral of the story? The Chinese food was amazing!
