What's so cool about Japan?

Well, I think Japan is alright, but I would rather visit other countries first. I think that some European countries would be first on my list. I would also like to go to Peru, and I just may have that chance coming up pretty soon.

My older brother, who is in the U.S. Airforce, was stationed in Okinawa for about a year. He was glad for the opportunity, but he said that it really was a culture shock. I can't really go into details, because it's been a while since I've talked to him about it. However, I do remember him discussing about the geishas, and he said that he wasn't impressed.

If I had to say what the coolest thing about Japan is, it would have to be that they have great respect and admiration for thier elderly citizens. I think they even have a national holiday dedicated to repecting the elderly.
