Job opportunity: Street vending in Japan

[Taro Toporific]

In spite of the gangsters, some find hawking dubious wares rewarding

(Asahi/IHT Aug 13)
`(Selling knockoffs on the street) is a risk, but so is everything.' ``DANNY'' A 23-year-old Israeli street vendor .... ``It is a risk, but so is everything,'' said Danny, a 23-year-old Israeli who sells so-called supercopies for between 25,000 and 90,000 yen-depending on the gullibility or sobriety of the buyer-a markup of as much as 600 percent. Danny saves as much as 250,000 yen per month.
