How many people have been to japan?

I found Japanese kitchen awesome. Can't compare McDonald to it.
Word by an italian.

Thanks for explaining it guys I have a friend who is a big fan of anime so maybe I could persuade her to go to Japan with me sometime...and I have a friend who went to Japan in February and she said it was awesome. I wanna have the same experiences she did...visiting shrines in Kyoto, dancing with drunk Japanese men in nightclubs...

clairebear,

you really should, as far as convincing your friend goes, you don't need to, just show her pictures from different forum and pictures from harajuku and akiba (do a image search on devilfinder.com or google image) and you are done

You will LOVE Japan.. I almost cry every year when i had to board my flight to leave Narita :'(

I stopped at Japan for 2 days with my family during one of our travels.
We got around with very basic Japanese... It was an adventure.
Though, I have to admit, I was quite naive at the time, and wasn't able to fully appreciate the experience.

My step-father is a martial artist (Japanese Martial Arts). And, naturally, I am learning from him... Which has since strengthened my interest and understanding of the Japanese people and culture.

Like the many others here, I plan on returning someday.

I havent been. My family rarely goes on holiday, and I'm too young to go on my own or with friends. :/

Hopefully I'll get a chance to visit when I'm older. I dont know how I'll survive without knowing Japanese though...
