Culture shock: from the moment you land on Japanese soil, you are in a land that is not quite the same as America, but is far bigger and greater in technological influence and more extreme in fashion and popular attractions.  For 2001, blond hair is in.  Nearly everyone has blond hair, young or old.  All the young girls look like Barbie, all the young guys look like surfer Ken, and anyone with typical black or dark brown is a successful salaryman/women or office type who has better things to do like hang out with coworkers in a cafe or fancy restaurant after a long hard day of work.  And of course, almost everyone is on a celphone.
