What was I thinking? I'd forgotten the whole weekend Harajuku/Shibuya scene. But Japanese kids usually outgrow this around what 18?. And most of them change back into their civies before hopping on the train back home to mom and dad. (If I remember correctly, isn't the Japanese term for the above look 'ganguro'?)
I've read that 40% of Korean women have had eyelid surgery. I know that the Japanese sometimes do do this, but in all the time I was in Japan, I never ran across anyone who had had the operation - I understand it went out of style some time ago.
Koreans, on the other hand, are plastic surgery addicts - a majority of the people have undergone one form or another of surgical 'improvement'.

And now that we're on the topic of bionic babes; it just occurred to me that in all my time in Japan, I never encountered a tit job. Was I unconsciously attracted to 'natural' women, or is breast enhancement far less common among the Japanese?
