Finally the site is working again for me (sort of!), so I'll reply whilst I have a chance, lol.

I was curious - for those of you who stayed in Japan for holidays/work, as opposed to merely touching down to transfer elsewhere - how did your initial impressions and reactions compare with your latter perceptions of the country? How do you feel now - or how did you feel when you left - compared to when you first arrived? Was there a noticeable difference in thoughts/feelings?
