Heading to Japan in a couple of months, what should I expect?

the language barrier should be minor, lots of students speak english, not perfect tho. everything is written in romaji in alphabet so you can read it. stay away from rightist type bars and if you see guys with hair greased back and black leather jacket, keep a weary eye. foods great the kobe beef is too oily for my taste. tonkatsu is easy to eat curry rice and ramen, as you get used to japanese cusine you can experiement more, they do have sushi
