Dani and Alex get together just after Sweden’s midsummer festivities, which sets them off on a path thinking about traditional festivals around the world. They talk a little bit about Japan’s approach to religion, as well as some of the not-necessarily-religious beliefs and superstitions which have developed there. After that, the path makes a sudden turn toward shop layouts and the question of linearity vs. freedom in shops, museums, art galleries, and video games.
