japan jottings

1. Tokyo is huge. Like reeeally huge. Like this massive urban sprawl where you can take the skinkansen for 45mins and still be in the city.

2. Those who say that the Paris metro is mad should come to Tokyo.

3. I wonder how the Japanese schoolgirls keep warm in those shorty short skirts.

4. Japanese society is very homogeneous. So far I have not seen many gaijin around, and even those who are here speak perfect Japanese!

5. Saw very few babies in Japan too. Or at least in Tokyo. Conversely I always see hordes of elderly folk pottering about. I worry for the future of Japan.

6. At a restaurant where both Japanese and Western dishes are available, the local dishes will always be more expensive. Gaijin food is apparently considered junk.

7. Eating and drinking on the move is considered rude here and will always not fail to attract some stares.

8. Japanese TV here has a dog hosting a cooking show on how to make popular Japanese dishes. Damn japs.
