Living in Japan
 You know you've been living in Japan too long when you start to seek self help books about the process itself.
When
living in a new country one can be inundated with "guide" books giving
eating, drinking and tourist recommendations but very little is
available in terms of the psychological aspects of living in a new
country, especially a country as alien to westerners as Japan. (Or even
more alien to Scottish "cheuchters" like me)
I mistook this book
for yet another guide book when browsing in Book1st in Shibuya foreign
books section, nestled amongst the "Tokyo rough guide for nama gaijin"
type books, I found a real gem, outlining the moving process,
settlement, blending in, prolonged stays, coping strategies and usually
uncovered in books of its ilk, returning and reverse culture shock.
Each
stage of the Japan living process is discussed in detail and how its
impact affects the self from a personable view; highly recommendable
for those living in Japan or those perhaps more orientated for those
assigned to companies in Japan.
