This review is from: 100 Tough Questions for Japan (Kodansha Bilingual Books) (English and Japanese Edition) (Paperback)
I bought this little book on impulse in the National Museum in Tokyo. It's a great, very informative read. It does what it says on the tin. Questions (some serious, many light-hearted) range from Why are there so many holidays in Japan and Why does it cost so much to have a posthumous Buddhist name to Why do you have to wear special slippers to use the bathroom?

The fact that it's bilingual is great if you're discussing it with a Japanese friend or (I guess) if you are learning Japanese.

Are there any other similar books for other countries (eg China?)
