each to their own...

I had originally planned to write about yesterdays' cycling trip in the Wachau, but then came across this very interesting link about what is apparently the latest Japanese craze after buying school girls' dirty undies from vending machines: pantsu getta, an "Internet-based treasure hunting game is women's underpants that have been hidden in public places for guys to seek out whatever way they can"

What will they think of next?

Lunch-break purchases: None. Went to check at Steffl whether the bags my bargain-radar zoomed in last week are a) still there and b) have been further reduced. Answer to a): yes. b) no, unfortunately. I also checked out the Swarovski summer sale, but the flagship store was swamped with Versace-clad Russian trophy blondes to the point that you couldn't even get close enough to the showcase to see the actual merchandise.

The Japanese men's obsession with women's underpants is nothing new here. The favorite sport is stealing them from the laundry lines while drying. That's why many Japanese (single) women try not to live in a ground floor apartments - the access for a knicker-snitcher is too easy! But this game takes the thing to another level all together - it starts to involve women themselves. Talking about emancipation! No longer scared little housewife but even inviting men to find her underwear! What can I say...this is a weird society!
