Review: Japan Took the J.A.P. Out of Me
Take a newlywed "Jewish American Princess" and send her to Japan with her new husband just days after the wedding, and you have the beginning of an amusing tale of clashing cultures. Lisa is not 100% a pampered princess, but she's close. She has cooked a meal or two in her life, and perhaps done some laundry, but that doesn't experience doesn't mean much when she finds herself doing laundry with a machine that only allows you to wash a few things at a time... and destroys them in the process. If that wasn't enough, there isn't even a dryer!
The author has split up the books into different sections such as Laundry, Cooking and Transportation, but includes other antidotes in with the story to really share her first year living in a foreign county.
This isn't a deep book on Japanese culture or etiquette, but it's a good and humorous book about an American Expat in Japan.
