I am going to share something with you today that you must keep an absolute secret. You must not tell anyone what I am about to tell you, especially not the police.
You've probably heard that Japanese don't like to break the rules. This is true, as long as you don't come to my island. No one on our island follows the rules of the mainland -- we're lawless.
I would have a hard time explaining to a policeman why the seat belt buckles in my truck are rusted from disuse and why I drive in Japan with Ohio license plates. My truck has not had a safety inspection for a while either, and I'm sure it would never pass, mainly because it wouldn't even know what to do on a real highway, since it's never been out of third gear. You see, we make up our own rules here.
