1) What would there be to do for 5 18-17year old beer addicts?
Where should we go?
2) Should I be able to speak more than just the normal beginners Japanese?
3) Which general attitude do Japanese people have towards foreigners? We will all be German except for MR Polski and me.^^
What should we watch out for?
4)Are there any laws against smoking in Japan?
1) Japan has lots of good beers everywhere. The closest thing to a japanese pub is an Izakaya, where you have food and drink. Some English theme
pubs too!
2) I got on OK just knowing a little Japanese language
3) I was treated well, but be sensible. Don't draw too much attention to yourself, as you are a group of gaijin boys.
4) Japan is quite good for smokers. there are lots of places you can smoke, although laws might be starting to change a little.
If a major theme of your visit is drinking, the best advice I can give is to be polite and reasonably sensible.
