Something ugly, and something beautiful

Two videos just brought to my attention this week: the first, a 1996 meditation on harsh conditioning and bullying in Japanese schools, and the second, a video compiled by John Mayer on a recent trip to Japan. Both are somewhat superficial in their simplicity, but together they do a better job of explaining how I often feel about Japan than my words ever could.
