Isehara City, go to LABO camp, visit museums, temples, shrines, stroll in a Japanese garden and visit with other relatives.

I tried many new things: eat raw fish which I found to be cold and slimy, go inside a Buddha-the same one visited by Mrs. Clinton about a week before I arrived in Japan, visit a school, sleep on a futon-oh, how comfortable, eat with chopsticks and slurp noodles-not considered rude in Japan.

While participating in these activities, I found that we as two different cultures and nationalities are not so different.

'Westernized'

Japan has been very ^‘Westernized” in the last few years. For example, in large cities it isn’t necessary to remove your shoes upon entering a building. Also most restaurants are exactly like restau-x V rants in the United States with' booths and many “western” and European dishes. The transportation system in Japan also impressed me, being much like those seen in Europe, highly sophisticated. A person could go almost anywhere in Japan , without the need for a automobile of their own.
