Then I watched a show on ghost stories. Then I watched a game show where they have people travel around the world, present something, and ask a question about it. For example, a guy went to Africa and watched an African wedding and afterward people went in long canoes.

The truth is that the Japanese like to keep their market closed when they can and so alot of foreign food is not allowed in the country under the pretext of preventing the spread of plant diseases. But if Japan starts opening markets there's a very good chance Japanese farmers would be displaced and the Japanese would very likely find itself in the position the U.S. is in now - importing too much. It is telling that, a few years ago, when Wall Street fell the Tokyo market was sharply affected, but later when Tokyo had a drastic drop, nothing happened in Wall Street.
