Japanese cable capitulation

As Japan now officially reigns supreme as far as internet connections are concerned, it possibly (at a push) eases the pain of seeing so many cables conspicuously strung hither and thither. A seemingly obligatory city sight that, while obviously essential, is far from fetching.

And yet at the same time is unfathomably rather fascinating.

    Lol. I found myself taking multiple pictures of the cables because they are really fascinating and something that is quite distinctively Japanese.

    It’s a hold over from the old days when you wanted (in a weird way) to show your ‘affluence’ – because you had electricity in your home. Problem now is everyone has electricity so now it’s time to bury the damn cables!!!!!
