I was interested by this report - the Japanese were surprised at having 40,000 people over 100, so got investigating with unusual results. BBC News - Japan man kept dead mother in a backpack

Gulp! I guess I will see those thousands of Japanese tourists we get over here with different eyes from now on, especially when they have a backpack!

Goodness I hadn't thought of it like that!

And if there's a group, and they EACH have one?

Gulp! There could be a few ancestors there!
