My friends and family (and to a large degree myself) can't comprehend how I have yet to go to Japan. Well here is an excellent reason to move to Japan! According to the Japanese Health ministry, Japanese women can expect to live until 86, a solid trend for the past 23 years. They attribute it to good diet, strong social ties, and tons of kawaii Hello kitty.
OK the kawaii products are more or less MY hypothesis...... But if you're surrounded by things that make you feel young maybe it effects your longevity. Who knows!
