omg, poor guy…
Interesting post, I have also heard Japan is expensive but that Japan has an amazing Cherry blossom festival. I had a flat mate that was president of the Japan club at Auckland university and my induction was learning to use chop sticks, or else you did not eat. So I learned very quickly.
I still use chop sticks sometimes.
A friend of mine went to Japan last year and seh says that it is very expensive. But, she laso said that people were so polite and nice to her, since they do not speak English a lot. They helped her on the street by showing her on the map where she needed to go. I would love to learn to eat with chop sticks.
If you stay true to your course, you can cut through any obstacle. Be patient. Želja mi je posjetiti Japan jednog dana.
Thank you a lot. Much appreciated.
I am also a big fan of Japanese culture, customs, movies, samurai, katanas etc. The only thing I do not really like is sushi. But I knew about the restaurants for and with cats when I saw it on TV not too long ago. Very nice and informative article.
I have never tried sushi since there is no Japanese restaurant in my city, but I would love to try.
Very interesting article, I didn’t know some of these things!
Thank you, I am glad that you enjoyed.
Black cats are considered as a symbol of disaster in my country. It was surprising to read that it is quite the opposite in Japan.
In my country black cat is also a symbol of something bad.
