Naptime in Tokyo McDonald's

Where: Tokyo, Japan

This Youtube video shows what happens at a McDonald's restaurant in the Akasaka, Tokyo after the bars close. The clip shows at least seven people sleeping off a night of heavy drinking in the booths at Mickey D's. Some of these sleepyheads were probably stranded when the Tokyo Metro closed down for the evening.

Miraculously, the staff doesn't seem to care that their restaurant is being used as a flophouse. This type of thing would never happen in the States. When we used to work at Starbucks in Manhattan, junkies and drunks would pass out in the bathrooms and we'd chase them out with mops. Guess foreign fast food joints are just a haven for assorted weirdness. For more proof, check out our clip of the dancing waiters at Pizza Hut in India.

Napping in Japan ... (none / 0)

... the Japanese have a fantastic ability to grab some sleep wherever they are, whenever - I'm jealous more than anything. Actually I did sleep a night in a McD's once at Vienna airport, but it was closed - I got chased out by the cleaners about 5am. Until then the benches were remarkably comfortable.
