JAPANESE FINDING NOVEL WAYS TO MAKE MONEY



TOKYO (Wireless Flash) – Despite economic troubles, some Japanese are finding ways to make a quick yen.

That’s not all. For $8 a minute, out-of-work boxer Akira Hallelujah lets pedestrians pummel him mercilessly. Other bizarre businesses in Japan include “Burusera shops” where men purchase panties freshly stripped off teenage girls and male and female escorts who will take a person of your choice to a hotel room and seduce them for you.
