Anthropology?

Study of cultures or something like that... Yep feels like I'm culture hopping from china to Thailand and now japan! Been here for only a few days but here are some things that I've noticed/experienced thus far...

-the airport shuttle bus was extremelyyyy quiet
-people don't stare at foreigners or point at them
-the food is small, cute, and expensive
-never seen such nice bathrooms before: warm toilet seats, music, buttons of all kinds...
-ate my first completely raw horse meat... I think Japanese people like raw things
-the Japanese are extremely strong and very enduring... I'm pretty sure they were all in pain from snowboarding but never complained and kept going at it!
-they are VERY law obeying... With traffic and all!
-been avoiding the onsens (group showers) but might have to give in soon!
-they look like Chinese but are sooooooooo different haha
-everything is beautiful, modern, clean, and small :D

Wish I could attach some pictures but I can't now... Thanks for tuning into all my adventures and travels!
