In some cases, people with tattoos aren't allowed at public pools, hot springs, beaches, and gyms.
Tattoos may be the norm in many cultures, but in Japan there's a serious stigma around tattoos. In some cases, they're seen as ugly, dirty, and a sign that someone is associated with crime or gangs.
Because of this, many of the country's onsens (hot springs and bath houses) and some public facilities (pools, beaches, gyms) actually ban people with tattoos from visiting. Thankfully, the stigma is slowly changing.

Life expectancy is only that high in Okinawa. Old Asian people lie all the time about their age due to no records of birth. Also there is more than plenty of crap food in Japan. If someone could just stop the anime we'd be great.

#9 Nobody would eat raw horsemeat in the west, but I guess giving it a japanese name makes it sound cool and delicate and people would want to eat it.

Mat,
I've had it. It was delicious! My Japanese friends didn't tell me what it was until after I ate it.
#11 Beer in outdoor vending machines was a much appreciated surprise for me.

Mat,
I am French, and you can get a horse tartare. (raw meat). It minced meat with capers, onions and various other seasonings.
And it tastes great.
