Goodbye to you, Japan and all of these things I learned about your country.
Japanese bowing – it's different than Thailand
You can eat like a queen at 7-11
No shoes on tatame mats. No dogs either! Always vacuum with the grain. 
I'll miss your paper doors.
Your bidets can open and close with a button, make funny noises with a button, spray water with a button, dry you with a button and sometimes you even have a tv in the bathroom! You have the best toilets on the planet.
Japan and your vending machines! They are everywhere. Hot ones, cold ones, toys, eggs, and my personal favorite – the shoe dispenser!
Hot drink cases. Brilliant!
Yakiniku – Quite possibly the most fun I've had at a restaurant. Grills at your table for you to cook at and an all you can eat buffet to go with it. They also let you make your own crepes and cotton candy.
I wouldn't be surprised if Japan was called the country with the cleanest streets in the world.
Urban gardens – Just another reason why the city is so beautiful.
Even the McDonalds tastes different and better.
Red beans are not chocolate, but the people seem to think it is.
Mayonnaise still doesn't make it pizza, but even Japan keeps trying to make it happen.
Everyone does origami.
Tea is served with everything
Fine china for dining in the home!
Heated carpets – a must!
Futons for beds in tatame rooms.
I'll miss the way when you ask for directions, people stop everything and take you to the location no matter the cost.
Bath houses – while a unique experience that I'm glad for, I won't be taking you back to the states.
And of course your honor and hospitality. I've never seen it's equal in all the world!
Arigato Gozaimasu!
