Why not?

I guess it provides work for construction sector.
And then the people to work there when it opens.
I don't know how successful it will be with all sorts of regulations though.
Well, whatever.
All those talk about it being bad for the society and stuff,
I thought we had them all along?
Just that they were illegal.
I used to live in one.
I used to know how to play all the games there.
I used to collect 'tips' in a little red pail so that I could buy drinks for them and keep the change for myself. Good money, it was.

I was 6.

I didn't pick up any of the vice.
Though they never told me not to.
I remember I almost smoked a ciggie offered to me by some uncle/auntie. I didn't 'cos it was smelly.
I hated beer. (I only started drinking when I came to Japan)
I only buy lottery once in a while.

Maybe because I've seen the worst....?
Nay, they were nice people, the uncles and aunties.

***
Don't bother asking about anything.
I can't remember how to play the games anymore.
I still don't smoke. (and I have asthma)
I will cut down drinking and quit when I get home.
But I guess I will still buy that occasional 'hope'
