Glorious Nippon

It seems like of all the countries to have fantasies about, Japan is the one that will let you down the most.

I'm from the Australia. I'd say any thoughts or beliefs people have about this country are pretty true. Most of the people I know are pretty laid back, we all like surfing and barbecues. Heck, it's not at all uncommon to see kangaroos in the paddocks next to my house. And it's hot here a lot of the time.

Japanese people who build up an idea of what Australia is like in their heads, I feel, will not be dissapointed or let down. But, from what I've read on alot of blogs and a lot of other places, any image of Japan I might build up in my head will quickly be dashed the moment I set foot in glorious Nippon.

  6. I really want to visit both countries, but I know no Japanese and I'm terrified of spiders so it'll be a while before I man up and go.
