Impressions of Japan

Is a week even enough time to get to even scratch the surface of a culture so rich and complex? Absolutely not. Yet even as a newbie, you clearly see the sharp contrasts. Purple-haired gothic kids and black-suited businessmen in the metro. 50 storey office towers and little houses. Raunchy manga comics and prudish Japanese women.

And another interesting factoid I picked up while there-there are over 300 Indian restaurants in Tokyo alone- beat that Tandoori-Chicken eating London!
