After reading all the hype i decided to watch it. I just wish i had'nt.

Maybe i was expecting something else, maybe IT should have been something else. I can say this, if you think you are going to enjoy being in Japan on your own, forget it, unless you can find a friend. This seemed to be the main thrust of the film, although it could be true of any country, where you do not know the language or customs. I did like the insight into Japanese life that you were presented with, however i could have bought a National Geographic DVD for that. The film needed something else to get it going, and i sort of hoped all the way through that the moment would come. Alas it never did. If you must watch it, do so, everyone sees things differently, this was just too different for me.
