"You rike Yapanese woman?" Then saddle up!
Once upon a time I did a lot of business in Tokyo. It is an amazing place. Looks like, and often feels like, New York, but that is just the surface. Underneath, it is entirely Eastern.
Most Japs speak a little "Engrish" (also call Janglish), or at least pretend to, especially in Tokyo, where you will find a whole "Gaijin" (Western) subculture. Needless to say, there is a lot written about this on the web. Also, Dave Barry wrote an hysterical book, Dave Bary does Japan, which I found spot on - and very funny.
Japanese LOVE their vices: porn, young chicks (have them keep the little uniform on), gambling (pachinko, stay away), and heavy drinking (I was a semi pro at the time) but like everything else in Japan, it's VERY expensive. Did I mention it's expensive? The vices, AND the food. In other words, the very stuff of life. A hard boiled egg is five bucks. A good reastaurant dinner for two will set you back $250. $500 if you go for Sushi. Got cash?
Happy trails!
