One being that last week I made a doctor's appointment, but apparently misdialed the number, as when I went to the doctor's office they had no record of my calling. Apparently whoever I did call simply humored me and went along with the crazy foreigner and his desire to see a doctor, neglecting to tell me that I had dialed the wrong number. Only in Japan...
Also, something that struck me in an article on education reform and how the latest attempt is considered to have failed: "The interim report will list five failures related to the guidelines. The first is the failure to tell teachers and parents what "zest for living" means, and why it is required."
Yes, what is this strange thing you people call "enjoying life"? Please do explain this foreign concept to us.
