I can`t agree there. I have to admit that Japanese food is very good, but
lacking in some areas like bread, cakes and pastries (just as much as
American food). As for Sauerkraut, I really don`t like it very much
and don`t know many people who do. I don`t think it is really typical
for German cuisine (except maybe for bavaria, but that may also be a
prejudice). 

As for the computer knowledge of computer salesmen. I think it is the
same in every country. You have good and bad ones, except that the
ones in Japan are more polite.
