I don't do it because I feel it is important, nor do I measure the
strangeness of my actions by the standard of the Average Japanese person. I
do it because I enjoy it, pure and simple. I'm American and one of my most
memorable vacations was a 6 week driving tour of the United States that my
wife and I did about 4 years ago. And the fact that you may have no interest
in seeing Japan, Australia or wherever gives me no distress whatsoever.
