OMG!
That's worse than just a gaijin, that is a total idiot!

It gives me visions of fabric caught on escalators (cause he didn't get the right length), crashes to the floor when he topples over on the getas trying to hurry to the gate, and other passengers getting poked in the eye by his headwear during boarding. Not to mention that you just know someone that ridiculous didn't even think to make sure the yukata stayed closed when he put his bag in the overhead bin or when he took his seat. I hope he was wearing jeans under the yukata.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
