I like the Japanese a lot. I lived and taught English as a second language there for almost two years and got to know the country and the people pretty well. The Japanese tend to be very friendly and polite. Compared to most cultures, like ours here in the states, they are exceedingly well-mannered. They also love to laugh and smile, which is very refreshing. I felt very comfortable there despite being a gaijin (outsider, foreigner, alien, whatever). I really enjoyed my time there and often miss it. I'd love to go back one day...

Yes, Japan has 'squat' style toilets, and yes, men's toilets have the same kind. But Western toilets are available in most places, and most homes have Western style toilets - often with the fancy 'wash/dry/heat/flush-sound' seats that Zoeksalamander mentioned!!\n\nMen's toilets obviously have urinals too, and Japanese toilets are NEVER communal!! Men & Women go SEPARATELY!!! (Although there's always a small-sized urinal in the ladies loos, so that little boys don't have to go into the men's on their own, or go into the actual cubicles in the ladies!)

Social structure on elephants is very structured and very different between females and males. Females live on family groups made up of mothers, daughters, sisters and aunts, led by the eldest female or MATRIARCH. Mature males or BULLS, around the age of fourteen, occasionally form loose associations with other males but only the most dominant males will be permitted to breed with females.

People still study Ninjitsu, although it's not quite the same as in ancient Japan. Don't let idiots like Hood_12 fool you. Traditionally, a student of Ninjitsu would study anatomy, espionage, chemistry, toxicology, meteorology, entomology, fighting skills both armed and unarmed etc etc. \n\nGenerally, a ninja would have been hired for spying, gathering information, scouting, assassination etc. Most of the traditional teachings/methods have been outdated with modern technology.\n\nA lot of the stories surrounding ninjas are merely folklore. The stories go back hundreds of years. People back then were far more superstitious than nowadays.\n\nFor those of you who seem to think that ninjas have something mystical or magical about them, have a look at these web pages. Read it from top to bottom, don't just look at the pictures like Hood_12.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninjutsu

If the summary I posted below is confusing, search it on google, yahoo, or wikipedia.org.\n\nThe nomads of Inner Asia have remained a subject of fascination and controversy into modern times: the stereotype of barbarians who were both feared and despised, or romantically portrayed as wild and free by those who admired them. However, most histories fail to make the region and its people comprehensible. These accounts consist of seemingly random events presented chronologically, with one obscure tribe following another. When the nomads did make an appearance on the stage of world history by invading their neighbours, such events were treated as a form of natural history, like a plague of locusts.

Try google.com...in both web and images..\n\nAs example...Google will give u a good reference....e.g.\n1.  Azhar b. Hj. Mad Aros, “Pendudukan Jepun di Tanah Melayu 1941-1945:  Satu Kajian Mengenai Bibliografi  (Japanese Occumpation in Malaya 1941-1945:  A Short Research on Bibliografi).  Jurnal Malaysia dari segi sejarah, Bil. 27-1999 pg. 1-10.\n\nThen u could go to UM library to search for the Journal...\n\nHope
