Amazon.com
Is this comedic tour of Japan discreet, tasteful, or politically correct? The answer, thank god, is Naaah! Yet Dave Barry's travelogue never grows mean-spirited, and he's always ready to laugh at his own country--and by extension, himself. An example: "I understand that, even if two Japanese have worked together for many years, neither would dream of using the other's first name. Whereas Americans are on a first-name basis immediately, and by the end of the first day have generally graduated to 'Yo, Butthead!'"
Kurzbeschreibung
"One of the funniest peole ever to tap tap on a PC."
PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
Not since George Bush's memorable dinner with the Japanese prime minister has the Land of the Rising Sun seen the likes of a goodwill ambassador like Dave Barry. Join him as he belts out oldies in a karaoke bar, marries a geriatric geisha girl, takes his first bath in public, bows to just about everyone, and explores culture shock in all its numerous humorous forms, including: Failing to Learn Japanese in Only Five Minutes (Or: "Very Much Good Morning, Sir!") ; Humor in Japan (Take My Tofu, Please!); Sports in Japan ("Yo, Batter! Loudly Make it Fly!"), and more.

Format:Taschenbuch
Also dieses Buch empfehle ich allen, die sich für Japan interessieren, sich bereits mit Japan befaßt hatten, oder bereits dort waren. Der Blickwinkel aus der Unwissenden Perspektive ruft so viele Lachanfälle hervor, daß man dieses Buch einfach nur weiterempfehlen kann. Der Autor beschreibt die für ihn auffälligen Unterschiede zwischen Japan und Amerika, sein Bild von den Japanern und ihren Sitten. Brüllend komisch, und eigentlich auch immer wahr. Jedenfalls im Grunde. Allein der Abschnitt über die japanische Schrift oder der über die Hotelsitten und Arbeitsmoral ist bei jedem erneuten Lesen ein Genuß. Also, wer Japan liebt muß dieses Buch kaufen. Zur Not auch in der deutschen Fassung, die unter dem Titel "Ein Amerikaner in Tokio" im Eichborn Verlag erschienen ist...
**Studentenrezension**
Format:Taschenbuch
As a servicemember who has been living in Japan for 5 years, all I have to say is that after reading Dave Barry's book "Dave Barry Does Japan", everything he stated in it is 100% true. If you're a fan of his work, then you'll like it anyways because it is hilarious, but you cannot truly relate to it unless you've either been to Japan or live here as I do. I have experienced nearly every single thing he did, and I know what he's talking about. I highly recommend this book. It's also a great primer for you if you're thinking of visiting this beautiful country.
Buy it. You won't be sorry.
Format:Taschenbuch
This book was a pleasant surprise; the concept sounded forced, and not really all that funny, so it was not at the top of my priorities list of Dave Barry books to read. But it is truly one of his best, up there with "Dave Barry Talks Back", "Dave Barry's Only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need", and "Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up". Much of it is screamingly funny, although he actually does have a semi-serious chapter/column on visiting Hiroshima (how much can even Dave Barry find to laugh about at Hiroshima? Not much, and surprisingly, he doesn't try) but the interesting thing, for all that he would deny any intention of being serious, is that there are serious insights to be found in this book on the differences between America and Japan if one looks past the chuckles.
This book is a must for any Dave Barry fan, and his highly recommended if you AREN'T already familiar with his other work. Of course, if you ARE familiar with his work, and didn't care for it, his style of humor hasn't changed any.

Dave Berry Doesn't REALLY *DO* Japan
Yes, this book was hilarious. And no, it wasn't cruel and laughing AT the Japanese.
That said, I do not think Dave Berry really DOES Japan. Lesen Sie weiter...

Japan from a clueless-American point of view
I really enjoyed this book, and that's why I read it twice. The first time I read it, I only expected comedy. Lesen Sie weiter...

Foreign Invasion
This really is a hilarious book. I read it a while back, but laughing out loud is not uncommon with most of his books.

Absolutely Hilarious!

i loved it
It was hilarious and suprisingly insightful about Japan....in layman's terms. He (barry)gives us a look into the Japanese culture. He is funny but not offensive.
