Check out the youth fashions and report back! I've heard that recently adolescent aged girls (and maybe older and younger too) are dressing in ... outfits like dolls or like little girls -- hard to explain. Let me go find pictures and be write back.
Sincerely,

Found it: Gothic Lolita http://tinyurl.com/ytkn5a I'm dying to know if this is just a youthful quirk (and one that has passed) or if this is actually common.
Kind regards,

You won't find a shortage of good things to eat. I must correct myself, even if you don't care for chicken. The cuisine is yaki-tori. Sorry - it has been a while. Best wishes.

Judon is the main NOODLE of the Kansai area, whereas Soba is the main one of Kanto. Judon is like a thick spagetti noodle very good.
Also recommend trying Japanese Curry. not so spicey but good.
You Nihongo is good so> I would not worry. Most people love to chat with you nihongo de.
Food is God in Japan so eat as much as you can. I am sure you know:
Shabu-Shabu.. Defo eat that . tasty and healthy..
and in Osaka go too Tsuruhashi and Eat Yakiniku: Korean Barbeque..
VERY TASTY.... and if you have the guts..try Nama LIva.. Raw Cow Liver...
very good... love it..

Originally posted by TyrannosauruschexSo far I find it very cheap. Today I had a huge bowl of ramen for 800 yen (about 5 Euro). You wouldn't be able to get any warm meal for that in Bodø. Public transport is also much cheaper here than in Bodø. However, flats apparently are horrendously expensive, so if you'd want to live here and want to have as much space as what would be considered normal in Europe, it would still be very expensive.
Take lots of money, Tokyo is rumoured to be the most expensive city in the world.
