Japan Lovers

Japan is a multifaceted country with good things and bad things. This club is all about what you find interesting about the country, either it be manga, anime, food, culture, way of life.
Perhaps this fascination also went so far as to go travelling to Japan and experience things first hand instead, and want to share it with others.
Last this fascination drove you to actually move there and taking in the whole Japanese way of life 100%. How did you do it, and what were the possitive, negative things about it.
