    Yeah, the Japanese tend to be a little on the wordy side, and give names to just about everything. One of my students spent a year and half in Japan teaching English as a second language. I'll try to remember to ask him tonight or this weekend if he knows what it might be.

    I call the "oh <your favorite expletive here>" moment

    Terry,

    I think you are right. The culture shock would be too much. I remember driving down to Florida when I was in college and realized there was no such thing as fast food south of New Jersey. Then again I haven't sat down and actually had lunch without working in several years. I think we would need something in the middle for a bit.

    RichZ,

    You would be bored out of your mind if you spent a week
    where I live. Lets see, 13 miles from fast food. The same
    from a retail store. Only 3 though from a mom and pop type
    grocery store. High end shaving stuff??? FORGET IT!!!

    You have to be born and raised here to love it... or insane.
