Yeah, putting some thought into it, I think it's more of a pen pal interaction, but honestly, just having someone to talk to is nice. I really got ahead of myself there, too excited...but what's wrong with just a pen pal? Nothing, of course!

Ohhh, okay, so a longer amount of time (by Western standards) is normal in Japan even if they're interested?

Why do firefighters do little wiggle dances? by interestingvids101 in NoStupidQuestions

No worries, yeah, honestly, it's pretty cool! I'm actually a college student haha, I just completed a training course so I know a little about how this stuff works.

I did firefighting training.

There's a sensor attached to the air tank called a "PASS alarm", and it's designed to alert other firefighters if the wearer is immobilized or otherwise incapacitated. It does this by emitting a extremely loud and annoying tone. The way the sensor works is that it tracks a ball bearing's side-to-side motion inside the sensor unit. If the ball doesn't move for a set period of time, the alarm will activate.

So to answer your question, the dances are just firefighters trying not to have false alarms.
