‘Stranger in a Strange Land - Japan"

"I lived in Japan for four years from 1987 - 1991 and was fascinated by the language and culture.  The presentation is based on my experiences as an expatriate but includes some references to the history and geography of the country and how this is reflected in the modern era"
