Things you should know about Japan: (specifically Yokohama)
1) It is the cleanest place I have ever been: airport, city streets, the train, restaurants, malls...there was no trash anywhere
2) Most Japanese people don't speak English (common misconception). However, those that do are more than willing to help you and many of them like to practice their English. They are the most gracious people I have ever met.
3) Google Translate worked perfect 100% of the time. Google maps worked about 90% of the time (it can get confused underground)
4) Engrish is hysterical.
5) It's really, really cold in February. Long underwear, multiple layers, a good coat, and warm gloves are a necessity.
6) The food is amazing.
7) There is very little theft. You can leave your bag on a table, go walk around for an hour, come back and it will still be there and all your contents will be in it. Blew me away.
8) The toilets have heated seats and bidets. Greg is currently pondering the logistics of getting one shipped to us. True story.
9) Everyone should go at least once in their life.
10) You'll want to go back the minute you leave.
Again, if you have questions about anything, ask away!
