What do I think of when I image Japan?

Well the moment I read this thread, I imagined a temple/shrine in the middle of an ancient, tall-treed forest. With other old monuments and statues.

WHEN I THINK OF JAPAN, FIRST I THINK OF LOTS OF COLORFULL LIGHTS IN THE CITY AT NIGHT, THEN CHERRY BLOSSOMS AND ALSO SHRINES.

Same here. Especially Koya-san.

Either that, or a scene I saw in Wakayama City of 2 vending machines right next to each other... one had cute little plush dolls for children (including Disney characters, I think, though I'm not sure) in one of those grabbing claw game things, and right next to it was a vending machine for used girls panties (guaranteed to have actually been worn).

When I think of Japan I see Mt. Fuji, cherry blossoms, temples and shrines nestled in beautiful forests, the lights of Tokyo at night, and large crowds of people going about their everyday lives.

When I think of Japan, I think of Tokyo with tall buildings and neon lights and a whole bunch of people. [Makes me feel a bit claustrophobic.] I also think of anime, people in harajuku and visual kei outfits, and Asian girls with super hot hair on cell phones. I also think of cherry blossoms, chop sticks and sushi and I seriously do think of those cool little square Asian plates they have. I love those things! I wish I had some, but I don't. XP
Yeah, I don't think of shrines and temples and ancient Japanese stuff that much like I should. I think of a more modern day Japan than an ancient Japan.

Just because places like Japan and China , the cities are so much more futuristic then where I live.
