What I Learned in Japan Today: ちかん (Chikan)!
ちかん, pronounced Chi-ka-n basically means “train pervert”.
There’s many cases of Chikan on the prowl. I’m sometimes lucky enough to hear tales of the Chikan from when my fiancé was in high school.
Her and her friends were in a mega-crowded train on her way to school. When they were getting out, they were shocked to find out that one of their skirts had a hole cut out the back. Ninja Chikan!

I was hoping to get in on that before they got wise and started posting warnings. Damn!

There will never be hope for us gaijin barbarians. We will never never be the men in red shadows!
