Old age in Japan

Here's trivia for you: how many centenarians do you think there would be in Japan?

Answer: 25,606. In Australia there seem to be about 3,000 (which is more than I would have expected here too). But Japan has about 6 times Australia's population, so at our rate they would only have 18,000. Obviously they are outdoing us in this area. Personally, I blame John Howard.

Lucky Queen Elizabeth is not their monarch. That would mean signing 70 cards each and every day of the year.
