Perhaps the last place you’d want to celebrate Christmas is a fast-food restaurant, yet in Japan, KFC is the traditional Christmas Eve meal. The custom is said to have begun in the 1970s, when the manager of Japan’s first KFC overheard foreigners regretting the lack of turkey on Christmas, a meat that is difficult to come by in Japan.

Godzilla’s citizenship came with a job offer: he became the Shinjuku ward’s tourist ambassador, which is the least he can do after destroying the area in three of his blockbusters.
Godzilla’s particular residence is for the purpose of promoting and looking over the Kabukicho district, as well as attracting people from all over the world. At a special event to commemorate the milestone, Shinjuku ward mayor Kenichi Yoshizumi remarked, Godzilla is a figure that represents the pride of Japan.

Being caught sleeping on the work is disapproved in most nations. However, in Japan, it is quite acceptable since it represents hard effort rather than laziness. Employees at some workplaces are even allowed to take 30-minute naps anytime time between 1 and 4 p.m. And it’s so common that it has its own name called ‘inemuri’.

I mean, I can’t think of anything more bizarre than being surrounded by gigantic pink penises.
