Haha I didn't know ^^
Did you know Japanese women give men chocolate on Valentine's Day, and that men, in return, give the women presents one month later, on White Day?

Aah, interesting facts are always good. Lol what a complicated dictionary though!

A fact from me...urm...apparently some fruit in Japan (like watermelons?) can be super-expensive! Like...£50. I don't know how accurate that is though.

Wow! The weirdest thing for me was the public bath thing. My friend went there and said this old japanese lady was watching them and smiling, how embarrassing!

Um, I guess all the girls bathe together and all the guys bathe together. I guess you just sit in the big public stall thing and taks a shower. My friend said that her and her friend were in there and this old lady thought that the two embarrassed american girls were funny! I don't really know to much more...
