Yes, you can enjoy the piles of unchewed noodles for free. 
I'm sorry but... Are you sure they're human-being? No animal-reports please!

It is disgusting out there. On the other hand, think of the benefits of an emptier city for at least a week, since everybody seems to be here right now.

I get "the feeling of Japan" when visiting department stores...salesman older than me (usually in the furniture department) stare off into space or walk away when I approach.

Rajio Taiso - always brings back fond childhood memories spending summers in Japan and waking up at 5:30am for these sessions

I used to watch a school (I think - could have been something else) performing this waaaay down below on an almost daily basis from the top of mjm's mori building. Loads of people, like co-ordinated ants.

Although I have nothing to add about "feeling of being in Japan", I do want to say thanks to everyone who shares their experiences and knowledge about Japan, its people and their customs.
This is one of those threads that helps me get in the Japanese mindset.
Japan is at the top of my list of places to visit and right now I am in the research phase. The FT Japan forum has been a great resource. I feel as if I know some of you personally. At the least I do know some of your personalities quite well.
