zebedee 1 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 You know all the obasans and ojisans who are bent over to almost 90 degrees through all their bending to plant rice (?) - is that something of the past that we won't see in 20 years when the bending generation has gone, or do they still do the bending thing? I can't BELIEVE how bent over some of them are. Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Are you sure it is from rice planting that they have bent backs Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 It's from osteoporosis of the spine due to malnutrition and has little or nothing to do with rice planting. Instead of that, Japanese people will be dying younger from hearties, cancer and high blood sugar complications. My question is, do their legs stick up like that in bed? There's a woman who lives near us who is literally bent over at 95 degrees. Catching her in your headlights from behind at night is a freaky experience - it looks just like a pair of disembodied legs walking down the road. I bet she's good at finding lost contact lenses.

zwelgen 0 Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Maybe they sleep on their side, semi foetal position. I have to say though seeing them all inching along the road makes me buy a few extra tubs of yoghurt at the suupaa! Link to post Share on other sites
OzOzOz 2 Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 How the F do they get that bad? Doesn't it HURT before they get to be like that position? Link to post Share on other sites
