What are you even supposed to do between Christmas and New Year? All the great sneaker shops are having sales I suppose, but that’s one afternoon. Maybe you’re still at your folks’ house or maybe you’re back in town but no one else is around?

Monkey riding a dog in a rodeo. I think that 20 second video summed up Japan and this one sums up America.
