Looking at life in Japan

It could be the SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF THE SENDAI TSUNAMI, or the arrival of BASEBALL.
Whatever the reason, I've been reading my JAPAN books this week.
Last night, I read more of "'SALARYMAN' IN JAPAN," an illustrated look at the white-collar workers who powered Japan's postwar economic rise.
The book examines the details of the lives of millions of Japanese workers, from their commute to what they eat at lunch.
It is fascinating to me. It is a look at a life different from mine, but with enough similarities that it is slightly recognizable, too.
