I like that the Japanese shrine I was at had UV sterilizers to make sure people weren't passing on comminicable diseases as they sipped all that sacred water. Isn't it odd that the health obsessed Koreans are lacking on this? MORE UV STERILIZATIONS I say!
How silly of me... I forgot that this was all in Japan. Well in that case, more UV STERILIZATION IN JAPAN I SAY!
Somehow the mocking seems less effective now. *sigh*
My initial instinct is to outright reject any sentence that has the words "more" and "sterilizations" in it. However, I make an exception in this case. :-) Koreans are generally confusing when it comes to sanitation and health... or, perhaps I should say they are generally confused. Every food possible must be "good for your health" in some way or another (and I think this can be stretched to mean 'it has some semblence of nutrients'). However, the exact opposite is so true about sanitation - despite keeping their handbags off the ground for fear of it getting "infected", they will think nothing of street vendors who lick their fingers while serving their customers barehanded (yes, I saw this happen). I think it's because they're all "one big family"... :-O
