Random thoughts on my trip to Japan



1. Japan is clean. Nobody spits on the streets or throws trash on the ground. Even though there aren't many public trash cans, like in Korea, people hold onto their trash until they throw it away.

2. Japanese people are polite. They say "excuse me" when they bump into you.

3. Japanese arcades are HUGE, and are filled with every type of game imaginable, from the newest titles like Street Fighter 4 to classic arcade machines to slot and pachinko machines.

4. Pachinko is hard. I never really did figure it out.

5. Stuff is really expensive in Japan compared to Korea. Just getting in a taxi in Japan costs $6, while in Korea it's $1.80. Food seemed to be about twice as expensive too, though it could have just been the area we were in.

6. Men in Japan are much more effeminate than in Korea, and if you know how Korean men can be, that's really saying something.
