The grocery stores seem to be pretty similar to Western grocery stores, and the restaurants had a lot of non-fish offerings.<BR/><BR/>et - Believe it! It's almost as if Japan used Switzerland as their model, and then just improved things that needed improving.The Big Finnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09399330438126032649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341696.post-75747617849735337052007-10-28T17:22:00.000-04:002007-10-28T17:22:00.000-04:00wow - now that is harder to believe..Better than s...wow - now that is harder to believe..<BR/><BR/>Better than switzerland!<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the vacation while it lasts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09455800980666388178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341696.post-69420588316904868322007-10-26T19:25:00.000-04:002007-10-26T19:25:00.000-04:00Wow, I'm amazed, I didn't realize it was possible ...Wow, I'm amazed, I didn't realize it was possible to have public transportation better than the Swiss.

They may make fun of you the minute you turn your back, or they answer even though they didn't understand a word you said (the latter is upbringing, maybe? Not answering a question is rude).<BR/><BR/>Then again, I was there on business, and not holidays. :)CanadianSwisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07643821249467079199noreply@blogger.com
