Interestingly enough, a layout like this DOES work in some cultures.
You guys seen how cluttered Korean and Japanese sites get? And yet they still do really well...

I think the clean minimalist styles that we're used to only really apply to anglo-based cultures as we're far too lazy to actually look at things for very long. If something we want isn't instantly apparent, we go somewhere else where it is.
It's like a car parking space. We'll happily drive around for half an hour trying to find one that's right next to the door, as opposed to parking at the edge of the parking lot and walking for 5 minutes.
