Well...
Let me start by saying I have discovered just how different Japan is to Scotland. And no, I am not talking about the food, the weather or even the television. It is the culture here that I have noticed, and perhaps for the first time in my time here, actually thought about.
Today I saw a transvestite. And not your ordinary drag queen on a pantomime stage. No, I saw an actual woman, but one who had a man`s face and was talking in a deep voice. He was dressed in proper high-fashion, skirt and crocodile boots, with a leather jacket and a wig - I think. Very strange. And Arran from the Jenzen's saw one too. And that was his first ever time seeing one. Here they are them for life. I guess sex-changes aren't up for easy grabs.
The government doesn't recognise same-sex marriage. It offers no civil partnership for such.
So yeah.
Culture Shock
