Dave Barry is a Pulitzer-winning comical journalist in Miami, Florida. In the early 1990s when Dave was working for the 'Miami Herald', Random House (a major publisher) sponsored Dave and his family for a 3-week trip through Japan.
The result: 'Dave Barry Does Japan' -- a hilarious and warm-hearted account of Dave, Beth, and Robby mesmerized, confused, horrified, and upset in Japan when Toshiki Kaifu was prime minister. The times have changed, the elevator girls are gone, and hopefully the Japanese youth are better at rock'n roll and the entire population has lightened up. Or not. Either way, it's a great way to look at yourselves.
By the way, I received this book as a present when I left the USA to study at graduate school in Japan. My colleagues thought the book would prepare me for Japanese culture. It didn't, but I laughed a lot on my flight over the Pacific! |
