Kyoto-blogging: preparing for culture shock

Well, ithe trip is still far off, but it can't be coincidence that I came across this blog entry about Hikokimori, or "young male hermits". Basically teenage boys react to the intense academic pressure and societal expectations by sealing themselves in their rooms, for years.

It also turns out that there is a secret network of tunnels in Tokyo.
