I'm getting cleaned now – one thing that is definitely the same in America and Japan is the attention to cleanliness. Everyone works very hard to keep me free of dust and dirt and stuff. They wear special hooded suits, plus shoe covers, masks, and gloves. The Americans call them “bunny suits.” It's always a little freaky to see everyone dressed like this. They look sort of like aliens, and it's hard to tell everyone apart when they're covered up like that.
