The main concern I hear from people who want to go to Japan is how expensive Japan is. But is Japan expensive? No, let me be clear, I am not saying it's cheap but apart from the initial scare of flights and medical insurance, the actual country isn't as expensive as it is rumoured to be.

If I got a pound for every time, I hear the sentence “I would love to go to Japan” I would have enough money to travel to Japan and back every four months.

Last week, I talked about the west's view of Japan being weird and strange but this week, I want to talk about what I find weird about Japan. Firstly, let us start with the one thing that you will find anywhere in Japan... MASCOTS!

"Have you ever seen a used panties vending machine?" ... Well no. This is the question that I asked the most when talking about "how crazy and weird Japan is".
