For some reason, the Chinese and Japanese are always at the forefront of being very, oh so, different compared to the rest of the world. But hey, at least they’re trying new things… http://www.thecoolcrowd.net/2007/01/09/test/ This is a interesting, but slightly weird, concept that has come to the Western World, from yes, you guessed it, China.
