Learning to Bow

Learning to Bow: Inside the Heart of Japan by Bruce Feiler


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Learning to Bow is Bruce Feiler's entertaining account of his year teaching English in Japan.  Having just returned from a year in Asia myself, it was easy to relate to his culture shock stories.  Learning to Bow also contains very interesting discussions of the Japanese education system and the difference between it and the American one.  Clearly there are ways in which Japan could stand to learn from us.  Equally clearly, we could profitable take some lessons from Japan.
