    My boyfriend and I are planning a trip to Japan and after a bad experience in France with cultural differences, I decided to learn some Japanese. More research, less culture shock.

    Welcome!

    Ever heard of Paris Syndrome? It’s an extremely acute form of culture shock that Japanese people seem particularly susceptible to – they arrive in Paris and discover it’s not the paragon of fine arts and culture that they thought it was, and suffer an almost psychotic breakdown. It’s… not really funny, but I did think the juxtaposition was kind of amusing. =)
