Let's Talk Japan

So one thing besides my entirely korean best friend (she lived there until 3 grade) that got me into asian stuff was sushi and manga, both hailing from the lovely pacific island(s) of Japan. Now in US history I was a bit surprised with pearl harbor but nonetheless, Japan still remains in my heart and here's why (not in any particular order, but I feel as if I should count down). I'm going to be posting each reason in a different post, so don't feel alarmed there's only one here.

10. Their vending machines. And vending machine-like things.
