Generally, most of my experiences in Japan have been positive. I learnt a lot about Japan before coming here to live. The politeness; cleanliness and brilliant transportation may take a bit of getting used to, depending on which country you come from. I come from England, so the difference is pretty big. One thing I had to get used to was the diet, food. Very different from England. No fish and chips or Sunday roast dinners. I got used to and enjoy Sushi dishes and Nabe (Japanese style stews self-serving from a pot on the table). Depending where you live, trains and buses can be pretty crowded.

I was once in Japan and I really liked the mentality. All people were very sympathetic and friendly. I also liked umbrellas in every store . I will definitely return again to this country.
