Japan REVEALED

picapica · Apr 29, 2002, 05:20

Just for information, I would like to recommend a book about Japan that I just read and that presents satirical and humorous views of Japan and its culture. It is a sort of 'everything you ever wanted to know about Japan but that the Japanese are denying'... and is entitled "Visions of Japan".

It really is a must to read if you have ever lived in Japan and I would very certainly recommend it to all gaijins who are living or simply planning a trip to Japan.

The small draw-back is that this book is not available in bookstrore and can only be ordered via mail-order through the publisher at: xgros@yahoo.com
But they are very friendly and helpful and ship all over the world.

If their is a bookstore out there who stocks it please let others know ?

I just noticed that their web site is included in our directory, and they also participate in our banner echange:
