oh do try to think of a few questions. I just want to know what people really are curious about. you must have something:)

see I can parallel park fine, but backing into a space in a parking lot scares me. I've hit things before, and I wonder if it isn't because of my bad eyesight and lack of peripheral vision. but that could just be an excuse - LOL!

Are the Japanese really as keen on karaoke as it's portrayed?

Do they really have a different system for addresses? I read something about the blocks being named, but not the roads. And houses are numbered in the order they were built and not in a line...

yes - they LOVE karaoke. when I was here, we often went to karaoke (my friends and fellow teachers) and it's tradition at welcome and farewell parties and end of year and new year's parties. I could write more...

the addressing system in Japan is a nightmare for us non-Japanese. if you are looking for some building or someone's house, most of the time they will give you landmarks rather than street names. and blocks are always counted too ,but their idea of a block is different than ours in America (not sure how you guys do addresses in the UK)... that would be worth researching though for the interest value!

thanks!!! great questions:P)

Lol. I've never done karaoke... too scared!

That might be worth researching, yes.

I'll see if I can think of more I want to know.

oh I can't do karaoke in front of a bunch of people, like they have in bars in America. no way I can sing in front of strangers! I only did that once at a small bar in Japan, but most of the patrons were drunk old men - LOL! they didn't even care what I sang. here in Japan you can go to places that have little private booths, where you can hang out with just close friends and sing. that way it's not so embarrassing. plus you can order food and drinks and it's very intimate and fun.

there's something else to write about!

That doesn't sound too bad - but I'd still be too self-conscious, I think. Lol.
