Title: Bought second hand..... Unfortunately no refunds given
Product review: If you are looking for something actually educational about Japan and it's secrets... keep looking.This volume is an extended rant by an obviously disatisfied outsider who managed to learn that Japan is a society where rule dictates action (SHOCK!) and not reason or free thought. Oddly enough, the author was astute enough to descern even some of the more obsure dictates of Japanese society, yet seems to have been completely dumbstruck by the concept that his time in Japan would be better served attempting to fit into the rules instead of acting like a dumbstruck tourist. This book comes off as little more then a baby "waaaa" rant that Japan isn't a western nation, foreigners are not equal to Japanese, and no.. you're opinion really isn't wanted. I suspect half or more of the authors semi-fictional difficulties with the Japanese could have been easily avoided had he merely followed the rules he clearly knew enough about to write in the book.
