A must read on Tokyo and Life in Japan

This book is a must read for anyone interested in life in general in Japan. I loved every bit of it and enjoyed the strange but interesting truth about life in Japan. Author adopts Tokyo as his home and learns to love what he got there and forget about what he missed there. I grew up in Asia and live in the US and have been to Japan and his comparison of living there as opposed to US is astonishingly honest and truthful. He writes beautifully about the issue of space, culture, and everyday etiquette, cross between the industrial and the rural Japan like a storyteller. If you are someone who grew up outside Japan and are going to live there, you must read this. If you also want to know what life in general in Japan is, this is a great book. Author is trying not only to live there and raise his family but also to love the place he chose to live in. Lively, entertaining book.
