Saw the film Red Dog, it exceeded my expectations. 
Check it out if you will. 

Airport food went from this ($9.50)

 to this (345 yen?)

 both nice though.
I got so accustomed of bowing that coming back home I had to adjust and tell myself  'hey, I don't have to bow when I go out of a store'. 

Have you found differences after hopping off the plane in a new place?

Hello there,

I'd love to go to Hokkaido, but am always told by Japanese friends that it looks a lot like Germany and I shouldn't really go there...
So what did you do there?

In Japan you - as customer - doesn't really bow when entering or leaving a shop though. But the clerks are always nice and loud with their "Irashaimase!" Miss it a lot.

Greetings!

@Chisa, I've yet to visit Germany but Hokkaido was certainly different to other parts of Japan. Abundant with nature and less of the dense cityscape.

Yea, I probably overdid the bowing lol.
