So I'm in Japan, the land of productivity and hard work, and there's this bum sleeping on the sidewalk in Asakusa. For some reason, it might have been the beer buzz after a delicious bowl of kimchi ramen, I dropped a 500Y coin next to him while he slept in the cold and people walked by looking down on him.

It's not usual for me to donate, and I don't know why I took pity on this poor bastard, but I did it, and wondered if maybe I should do it more often, or if I was right in thinking they were worthless trash who should just go get jobs like the rest of us.
