Who on earth, apart from an Englishman would complain about there being no vans in Japan? The world's highest selling van, the Toyota Hilux is made here but there is very little use for them. The weather is, by the way and thank God, nothing like England.
Things not to like in Japan... well... I have been here for a while and to tell the truth I have nothing bad to say about Japan. Not that there is nothing bad, just that the bad things are so far outweighed by the good things that they hardly seem worthy of mentioning. I dont know what some people expect in a country the size of Japan with its population. I may have had some negative feelings when I first came here,about what I thought to be racism, but I soon realised that the Gloobey types of this world were never meant to be human magnets. As for the people, you can think of them what you will. I happen to like the Japanese people very much, and for me to just walk past a group of drunk young Japanese people with a far higher likelyhood of being invited to join then than to be called a wanker and to be asked if I want a fight, is refreshing to say the least. Don't need to say anymore, Japan is good, it has been good to me and I have learned the language, gotten my black belt in karate and loved being a part of this culture.
