Things I miss:
- the very kind and polite people
- organization
- engrish
Things I won't miss:
- the lack of public trashcans
- the massive amount of paperwork / intractable beaurocracy
- raw egg
Things I still don't understand:
- all the bowing
- AKB48
- the lack of wifi
- where all the robots are at
Other observations:
- they like blonde haired women just as much as you like asians
- an entire population has been trained to carefully separate their trash into over three types of bins, even in mcdonalds
- you can purchase almost anything from a vending machine
One summer is definitely not enough for Japan. A post-doc for two years would be a good way to take in the country and learn the language while at it. I definitely hope to return to the land of the rising sun someday.
