I honestly want to know if any of you out there can do this.

[Eek!]

I am in awe.

The Japanese are experts at folding stuff...like origami.

I would love to figure out how Japanese shopkeepers wrap my gifts without first measuring and cutting the wrapping paper.

I had to watch it 3 times, and try it 3 times, but yeah, I got it. It's pretty easy, just pay attention to the video closely. I DO do origami though.

It depends on whether he was saying "the Japanese (as a culture)" or "the Japanes (each one individually)". Since you can't really tell, let's give him the benefit of the doubt.

It's easy actually. You just have to make sure you pinch both layers with the first hand, and grab the bottom of the shirt with the second hand when you fold it over.

It's fast too. I think I might adopt this method from now on...

Dude, I haven't tried it yet, but if I can get it down, I am totally folding shirts like that from now on.
