Interesting facts

So that my posts are not a complete waste of your time, I'm going to reinstate the interesting Japanese fact thingy that I had going before-only this time they're going to be real facts. To celebrate this grand event I'm going to start out with two or three.

#1)Metropolitan Tokyo consists of 12 million people, the population rises 2.5 million during the day.

#2)The population has fallen by 10% since the 1964 Olympics.

#3)The pachinko places in Japan pull in more cash than all the rest of the casinos in the world combined.

#4)The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Lost and Found centre receives more than 300,000 umbrellas every year, or more than 3,000 each time there is a heavy rain.
