It took me awhile to eat raw fish from Japanese food lol, I actually don't like eating sashimi that much after tasting it at a Japanese restaurant but I do like eating raw salmon and smoked salmon put in the sushi.
I've never ever been to Japan but I've seen some videos on their public transport system there and it kinda scares me, particularly the train in the big cities where you see people being shoved in like a cattle herd. God knows the public transport system in Melbourne is getting really bad and I fear it could end up being like the trains in Japan but other than that I'm quite interested in Japanese culture.
Most of those interest stemmed from studying Japanese for 6 years throughout high school and watching anime. I really would like to pick up Japanese again so I can enhance my speaking of the language, reading hiragana and katakana I'm already good at and I can read some kanji while writing Japanese I'm okay as well. It ain't easy though for those who wish to pick up Japanese just from watching anime as most of what you hear in it are quite different from how Japanese people speak in real life.
