Dave Barry Does Japan by Dave Barry

A comedic travelogue in which an American visitor navigates Japan’s culture with wide-eyed curiosity and self-deprecating humor, recounting language mishaps, bowing etiquette, high-tech toilets, bullet trains, karaoke nights, sumo matches, and corporate rituals. Along the way, stereotypes are upended by affectionate observations of everyday life—vending machines, convenience stores, and punctuality—resulting in a lighthearted, insightful portrait of a society that’s both welcoming and bewildering to an outsider.
