There's something special with japan, I don't know what it is. I have talked with plenty of travellers during my internet life, and most people say the same. There is something that makes us all very curious about that country. Whatever it may be: culture, people, their way of living, japanese cuisine (sushi among others). I can say that im very curious on the culture, the people and how they are living life.

Here's an interesting article about japanese cuisine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_cuisine

Im not that fond of sushi or other japanese cuisine's.
