Collectively, we are so used to seeing Japan as squeaky clean streets, gracious and polite residents and - almost - not a hair out of place. Cherry blossoms. Mount Fuji. Bullet trains. Mind-blowing food.
And, of course all of that is correct. But there are some places in Japan that don't always bubble up to the…
The more you fly, the more questions you'll have. For example, why does the food vary so much from airline to airline? Why do you suddenly get switched to an entirely different airline at the last minute? Why are points almost worthless? Why don't we exit the plane from the back as well as the…
