Living in the city, there's plenty of American influence to be found. Mc Donalds, Starbucks (there are 2 right a cross the street from each other, I keep meaning to take a picture), Kinko's, etc. But drive out into the countryside, and you find something truly surreal:
Everything from the brands to layout is EXACTLY the same. The only difference is the signs are all written in Japanese.
I went with my friend Hanaka who lived in America for 4 years. She speaks perfect English, but speaks in Japanese 99% of the time to me to help me learn. I wish I was that nice.
Even the pizza is the same size. You could never find pizza this big at a normal Japanese restaurant.
I was home for a few glorious minutes.
