		<description>I tend to agree with you on the hot-spring-inn situation...you need to operate according to a choreographed pattern. My favorite way of enjoying onsen is to first check into a 6000-yen-a-night business hotel, leave your bags, go out right away with underwear and towels, find a sento, take a good soak, find a good local izakaya, enjoy all the Asahi/Kirin/Suntory/Sapporo you can, navigate my way back to my room, and CRASH!</description>

		<description>&quot;I cannot count the number of times I’ve been told I use Japanese 
chopsticks with skill and grace, despite the fact I’ve seen 
three-year-olds managing just as well.&quot;

Actually, plenty of people have a hard time using chopsticks properly.  even many japanese people use chopsticks in &quot;quirky&quot; but improper ways.  No Japanese person thinks &quot;only Japanese can use chopsticks properly,&quot; especially since China and Korea are right next door...  

And you do realise that the reason why gaijin stick out like a sore thumb isn&#039;t because they&#039;re non-conformist, right?  It&#039;s probably because you&#039;re white (or black, or whatever, just not your typical asian Japanese person.)
&quot;- The fear of crime in Japan is high, especially among Japanese citizens.

- Murders happen.  I repeat, murders happen. People are attacked, robbed, assaulted, raped, beaten, and swindled&quot;

This last point is the most laughable... you do realise crime occurs everywhere.  Murders happen.  I repeat, murders happen.  ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.  Thanks for the tip though.  I hope you&#039;re living in a crime-free place in the world.</description>
