Someone told me that Japan is like a banana: yellow on the outside but white in the middle. Mrs C (formerly H) says it's more like an inverted banana - a nababa I suppose - ostensively white but with a yellow core. Myself? I say it's a topologically complex sequence of interwoven alternately inverted bananas - a babananabanabanabanananabababa. But what does it taste like? Is there an inflatable version?
These are deep questions.
