10 good reasons to visit Japan

















Do you want more?

 
First of all, the cartoon only gives a blink about this country ! Japan is definitely a mad place ! But so much fun ! I had a blast while travelling there, but i really do think it takes some time actually to perceive the crazyness of Japan. Cause of course you will be striken by the 'in your face' obvious-crazy-busy-funny atmosphere of the place. But it takes some time on the other hand to talk the the locals and understand their mentality.
And i think this is where, you fucking realize how their culture is different from yours and get kind of electrocuted by this 'cultural' slap! 

I think Japan is not that fun also at some points (culture of conformity and sacrifice, intense social pressure and high suicide rate, female poverty, natural disasters, strange 'race' ideas,  etc) but in any case, Japan is definitely a special place!

  • Yep, in the very modern toilet of Japan, you can have a remote control to choose what kind of 'flush' you want and more terrifying stuff as on this list! But it's quite common. Here some crazy signs i've seen in the public toilets as well 
  • Picture of the highway in the building! MAD!
  • Videos of human bowling or human tetris ! This is so much fun
  • Yeah, they really have DIET WATER. I mean....????
  • A list of weird japonese food and drinks . In restaurant, they really display plastic dishes for you to make up your mind about what you will choose ! picture over here!
  • Yeah, japonese walk in the street with helmet and mask...children too on their way to school! It is pretty common to see that in Japan. A nice short video commented here!
  • The Tokyo Skytree is one of the last urban excitatement of Japonese and is the start of a future mega complex (if i understood well!). The Kansai airport is a mad stuff, check here
  • To give you an idea about Tourism in Japan, France received 80 millions visitors for 70 millions inhabitants per year (+/-). In the meanwhile, Japan host 8 millions visitors for 130 millions inhabitants. I think people are shit scared of the price in Japan and don't dare. Personnaly, it cost me much more to travel in Australia than in Japan in 2010. For informations over here
  • A list of funny stuff in Japan. Completly unreal skirts as well (wtf?!)
  • You can as well browse among japonese adds, some are really silly but hilarious.Check Arnold !
  • About the tradition of Onsens with pics and comments about the tatoo problem
  • Picture of monkey bathing in one of these outdoor natural hot springs
  • Picture of people sleeping in the subway, so typical!
  • Sometimes in Japan, fiction becomes reality!
  • Some MELON  reach +100$, and sometimes even more !

    1. As an international teacher in Japan I truly appreciated your post. The digital cartoon is very informative and funny. I have another year in Japan to try out more of the culinary delights. Some of the video links you have got are hilarious and really worth the time to view. Thanks for putting a smile on my face.

  2. My name is Joe Pinzone and I'm casting an international travel show about expats moving abroad. We'd love to film in Japan and wanted to know if you could help us find expats who have moved there within the last 15 months or have been there for 3-4 years, but recently moved into a new home. The show documents their move to a new country and will place the country in fabulous light. The contributors on the show would also receive monetary compensation if they are filmed. If you'd like more information, please give me a call at 212-231-7716 or skype me at joefromnyc. You can also email me at joepinzone@leopardusa.com. Looking forward to hearing from you.
