Book: answers to questions about Japan

You should take a look inside the book " なぜ、日本人は?Hard-to-Answer Questions about Japan" by Uchiike Hisataka, if you are a gaijin who has tons of (stupid) questions about Japanese Society and Culture.

In the book you can find answers to questions as:

- Why do Japanese ask immediately how old you are?
- Why do Japanese like hot springs so much?
- Why do American movie stars appear in Japanese commercials?
- Why are the Japanese good at making small things?
- Why is there so much Japanese English?

I think the book is fun to read and it does give some good information about Japan. The text is written in both English and Japanese.
