My Japanese Experience

1. Master the Language. If you go there without knowing a word of Japanese, it is hard to communicate. For instance, when I was at the checkout counter at the Tokyo airport, I overlooked the back of the immigration card, and the officer told me, "Please check your backside". I looked at him in bewilderment and realised he was referring to the card. Furthermore, it is hard to negotiate prices and ask for things since the locals do not understand us.

2. The toilet bowls are equipped with a function where you can wash your behind and the part further front once you are done. That is really comfortable! The water just spouts out, and it feels so good! So orgasmic! Can climax within a few minutes, better than sex! (Did I really just say this?!)

3. Hokkaido is a very mountainous place. Everywhere we go, we see mountains after mountains. Apparently in Japan, people can own a mountain, and the mountain will be inherited by the next of kin.

4. The Japanese are very polite and honest people. They greet you each time you pass by, very good customer service, and return your belongings with everything (including all the cash) intact.

5. Everyone is equal in Japan. A road sweeper is the same rank as a doctor or a lawyer. There is no discrimination between the types of work done as long as people are gainfully employed.

6. For Japanese, the later they come home the better. So after work, most people go out to socialise and entertain, as people look up to you if you come back late, rather than going home on time.

7. The laws are a bit different. The death penalty is dished out only to someone who has murdered two people, and even then, it depends on the circumstances and who you murder. For instance, someone killed a lady and her toddler, but he was not given the death penalty as an adult and a child constitutes only one and a half person, not two.

8. The country is very clean. There are hardly any dustbins around, yet no trace of litter at all. Japanese are taught from young not to litter and to keep all rubbish to throw at home. The trash cans are also labelled as "Biodegradable", Non-Biodegradable" and "Recyclable". Impressive!

9. Bring along a spare pair of lenses. With so many things on my mind, I totally overlooked this point. The next thing I knew, the lenses got rinsed down the drain in the hotel room. So I have no choice but to wear my glasses from the third day of my trip onwards.

10. The hot springs are really enjoyable! The water has a temperature of 40 degree celsius, with sulphur coming in from the mountains. One catch though : all has to be naked before going in. I was so self-conscious as no one has ever seen me totally naked except myself and a certain someone.

11. There is a high molestation rate in Japanese subways. The men will touch, and the girls do not scream. Some even smile as they deem being touched as an honour, as they are probably cute enough. And some girls who got molested by the same guy in the same train consecutively ended up marrying the guy!

Wrt your point 6:

This may still be true, but the wives sure are not feeling that it is better. (Especially nowadays)

Point 11:

No, no, and no.
The rate has gone down significantly compared to the past, and rather than 'some' the word 'there are those weird few' would be more applicable. Being caught molesting carries pretty hefty penalty too.
