Ana and I 12.days in Japan last month so here are some impressions:

The people are ever friendly and helpful making for a great stay. for example we were looking for a taxi rank so we asked a policman. He stopped 8 lanes of traffic, caled a. Cab over from the other side and held the traffic until we were in and on our way.

Japan is spotlessly clean! years ago this was not so. We travelled fairly widely and I would say a dozen pieces of litter were seen by us. Cigarette smoking is confined to defined areas which are rigidly enforced. Makes for a pleasant environment.

The bullet trains are incredible! Fast, punctual and extremely comfortable.

A smell of fish pervades the air.

There are vending machines everywhere!!

Prices are comparable to those in Australia.
