“What do you find weird about Japan?” That’s actually a question I got asked while doing an interview. I’ve always avoided talking about the weird, the wacky Japan. I made videos to show the everyday Japan. However, that question never quite stopped bouncing around in my skull.
What do you think foreigners would find weird about your country?
