It’s good to know they have toilets for cats (kidding). What a deep and fascinating culture they have. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Did you come across any strange eating restaurants? If I’m not mistaken they have some very strange eating experiences over there.
No, nothing too strange yet. Octopus doesn't count, right? I tried horse stomach once, two years ago in Tokyo, at the insistence of a Japanese friend I was with. It was okay, but I didn't like it much. I'm really into fish and seafood, so I'm quite content with sushi and not really looking into more exotic gastronomic experiences. :)
(We have some weird foods in Sweden too! ;))
