Japan's Chinese Back Street Arcade May Offend You
Robyn Currie — December 29, 2009 — World
Just when I thought I had written about it all, I come across something that even I am offended by, and I have absolutely no reason to be. Looks like Japan has gone ahead and designed a Chinese back street arcade.
Just what I always wanted to enjoy, a grubby, dirty, themed arcade, something that takes the worst stereotypes of a country and makes them real! Just so you know, you aren’t actually in a rough Chinese back alley -- the Chinese back street arcade provides towels and drinks, in case you tire of offending people.
