Japan (lit. land of wind and ghosts) is the nation that is on the other side of the world, unless you live in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. If you live in China, it’s quite close. If you live in Japan, just look out of the window. If you live in Japan and do not have a window, you can make a small one by poking your finger through your rice paper wall, or the newly invented cardboard wall released in 2007.
Japan is also a form of bread. Yakitate Japan! is a thrill-a-minute animated series about making this type of bread. The word for bread in Japanese is pan, hence the making of Ja-pan (no kidding). This delightful pastry-like treat is commonly found in convenience stores throughout the country, but is avoided by ethnocentric Westerners who are generally appalled by its unmentionable filling.
There was a Japanese man who went to America for sightseeing. On the last day, he hailed a cab and told the driver to drive to the airport. During the journey, a Honda drove past the taxi. Thereupon, the man leaned out of the window excitedly and yelled, “Honda, very fast! Made in Japan!”
After a while, a Toyota sped past the taxi. Again, the Japanese man leaned out of the window and yelled, “Toyota, very fast! Made in Japan!”
And then a Mitsubishi sped past the taxi. For the third time, the Japanese leaned out of the window and yelled, “Mitsubishi, very fast! Made in Japan!”
The driver was a little angry, but he kept quiet. And this went on for quite a number of cars. Finally, the taxi came to the airport. The fare was US$300.
The Japanese exclaimed, “Wah… so expensive!”
There upon, the driver yelled back, “Meter, very fast! Made in Japan!”

This speaks a lot about the Japanese quality standards and also cultural misunderstandings.
They’re still laughing about this at IBM. Apparently the computer giant decided to have some parts manufactured in Japan as a trial project. In the specifications, they set out that they will accept three defective parts per 10,000 .
When the delivery came in there was an accompanying letter. “We, Japanese people, had a hard time understanding North American business practices. But the three defective parts per 10,000 have been separately manufactured and have been included in the consignment. Hope this pleases you.”
The Japanese are great Rice Artists, have a look.
