Discuss Japan Lite Laugh and learn with Japan Lite, a weekly humor column appearing in The Japan Times, Japan's largest English daily. Amy Chavez dispels the myths and uncovers the real Japan in her informative, candid essays on Japan. One of The Japan Times's most popular columnists, Chavez explains all things Japanese, from Zen Buddhism to why praying mantises ride the bullet train to Tokyo. I started writing the column because I saw a need for people to laugh as they struggle with the cultural differences in Japan.
Japan is bizarre.
