Agh.... can't... get through... that blurb! So... badly written!

So, wait, is this an autobiographical account of a father taking his anime-obsessed son to Japan, or is it a fictional story? My eyes kept glazing over when I tried to read the article. [Razz]

If you are interested on Japan, I recomand you The book of the five rings by Miyamoto Musashi. The version i have add many interesting things on the reasons of japanese behavior. Moreover, he give some idea of the Japanese thought (example : The link between person and object).

I thought it would be interesting to read non-Japanese pov on Japan.

Actually you can read the Book of Five Rings at this URL.

IT is a fairly short read, but contains a lot to ponder.

Hobbes,
I loved Dave Barry does Japan!
I was in tears, and it’s all true too! I don’t think he made up anything.
