With the experience gained from living in Japan for 5 years, and with humour and humility, Shifra Horn gives her insights into the Japanese way of life. Some of the book is descriptive, but the best bits are those where she tells of her own misunderstandings and mistakes in a culture where knowing how to do the right thing can be mystifying for a gaijin. Hope I can remember some of this when I get there!
