When I used to live in Papua New Guinea, everyone that I came across happened to have a very wrong interpretation of Japan. To all those foreigners who are trying to learn more about this country, this is what Japan's really like:
1. We are not as obsessed with anime as everyone thinks
What is the first thing that pops into your head when you think of Japan?
Many would say Anime, as Japan is know for its variety of Animes, which are very popuar globally. However, Anime is not as popular in Japan as some people might think. In Japan, Anime is often associated with Geeks, or more commonly middle aged guys that live in their parents' house's basement.
2. There are no ninjas in Japan
This might be the most disappointing thing in this blog post to many. One of the most frequent questions I get from foreighners is: "Are there ninjas in Japan?" and the answer to that is "No". First of all, It would be illegal to be spying on someone, tresspassing, assassinating or stealing. Sorry to burst your bubble, but there are no ninjas in Japan.
