I am addicted to sushi I like population density and energy efficiency I lurve dramatic costumes I like the idea of buying a 40oz bottle at a bar, putting your name on it, and finishing it next time you stop in I would go back in a heart beat I like cherry blossoms and lacquered chopsticks

I agree. It's so funny because there were so many young men that I met who were interested in Japan because of bushido and ninjitsu and the other martial ways of Japan who didn't see all that went into the Japanese society as a whole. All cultures have something remarkable and repulsive about them. Sometimes when I think of how amazing Japan is I don't forget how they place the onus of responsibility of rape on the victim.
