Living Abroad in Japan
"In contemporary Japan, you can wear your hair black or bleach it blond, slip on a pair of jeans or a yukata (cotton kimono), sip matcha (green tea) or a latte, and order French, Chinese, sushi, or pizza. After a day of hiking or snowboarding, you can soak in a rotenburo (open-air spa), relax with yoga or tai chi, and collapse onto your futon or bed. In Japan, the choice is yours."
