Every American is considered an ambassador to America, regardless of how he or she feels. This is what I do NOT like about being affiliated with the U.S. military. I have to practically become Japanese, putting aside that I've been an American for 31 years. I'm supposed to be a visitor. I'm courteous to Japanese people but that doesn't mean I agree with their views or ideals of their society.
Japan has unique voltage when it comes to electricity and electrical appliances.
Our toaster takes 5 minutes to make toast, it takes almost 30 minutes to cook chicken wing in our microwave, and none of our alarm clocks will keep time. Also, U.S.-manufactured cordless phones cannot be used here. Cable TV is next to nil. Armed Forces Network cannot endorse items. They think the business won't be lucrative.
