Upon arrival in Japan, one inevitably undergoes culture shock. The Japanese way of life is so unique that it appears incomprehensible. Foreigners, or \"gaijins\" as they are commonly referred to, are initially disoriented and mystified. I have written this travel guide to help teenagers discover Japan and decipher its inhabitants' customs and habits. The guide may be equally valuable for adults. It covers everything from \"DOs and DON'Ts\" to \"What to Visit and Where to Eat\". It is essentially a compilation of my experience living in Japan. I provide my readers with valuable advice, exceptional addresses and useful suggestions. Although the first few days in Japan are unsettling, one rapidly learns to appreciate the country and its superb culture. | Japan by Constance Noziere, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
