Japan Top Lists

We are at the airport waiting for boarding. I will have more comments about Japan once I get back home, but here is a list of "tops" that we put together

Top Ten BEST in Japan - I know that there is a lot of emphasis on food, but we're Jews :)

10. Fashion/cute shoes
9. Cell phones work on trains
8. English translations for most things
7. Karaoke
6. Giant baths/onsen
5. Beef and sushi
4. Hot and cold drink vending machines everywhere
3. Smart toilets - warm seats and bidet
2. Snacks
1. Train system

Top Ten WORST in Japan
10. Awful TV shows - they're really bad
9. All sorts of chemicals in food and clothing
8. Eggs everywhere (you can guess who chose this)
7. Trains stop running early
6. No trash cans anywhere - we cannot figure out how the city stays so clean
5. Karaoke (I know there are two)
4. All the clothing is small
3. Smoking in many places
2. Super expensive - a venti starbucks iced tea is five dollars
1. No street signs anywhere

Onsen (bathhouse)

This was an amazing experience...its a bathhouse with both indoor and outdoor baths (same sex only). All of the water used is pumped from deep below Tokyo. I also got a foot massage...a real one. You can basically spend a full day at this complex where there is food, games, TV rooms with massage chairs, and basically anything you would want (for dad- similar to King's Sauna but with baths).

Steak galore

Yakiniku style cooking of Miyabi beef (type of beef)...it was one of the most amazing steak experiences that we've ever had.
