You miss-represented all the points, AND skipped the one where I said they don't take such superstitions as seriously as their American counterparts.

- brigandish 7y agoAn anecdote: A friend of a friend's son was very sick in the stomach. She went to see a fortune teller to ask what was wrong. The fortune teller took her money, did a reading, and told her she needed to take her son to a doctor. I found that amusing. I have tons of these, most of them amuse me. Try living here and (among the many other notions you have of the place that are no doubt wrong) you'll see there's a huge amount of superstition, regardless of education level. If you can't afford to come, https://www.reddit.com/r/japanlife/ https://www.reddit.com/r/japanlife/ is a good resource. It's amazing how much that sounds absurd is true.
