It still boggles my mind people in Japan buy new when it comes to housing. I guess if they are all cheaply built that makes sense.

    From what I've heard, houses in Japan are torn down after twenty years and rebuilt anew. Absolute craziness from the European standpoint, but I'm sure there must be a reason for it like the propensity to earthquakes and tsunamis (particularly with Japan being rather conservative overall).
