Right now I'm reading "Dave Barry Does Japan." In a word... hilarious! Living here for so long I take all these things for granted. But reading about them as seen through the eyes of someone just visiting for the first time...well, suffice it to say that this is one really bizarre place! I mean, what's so odd about bowing to someone over the phone?

The really amazing thing is is that he's able to be so accurate about what he is describing, and still be so incredibly funny! I'm 3/4 through the book and have experience almost everything he talks about. When I tried to relate these episodes to friends and family they couldn't internalize just how bizarre it is. Dave Barry is able to make it come alive!
