I have always wanted to check out all of the interesting shit there is to see in Japan, but the Fukushima nuclear meltdown still concerns me. The way Fukushima has been all but forgotten is troubling - I bet there are nontrivial amounts of fallout all over the place in Japan. When I mentioned visiting Japan to one of my professors (granted, a philosopher specializing in conspiracy theories) he said there is no way he would go there.
I could just imagine visiting there, and then wondering if I might have breathed in some particle which would finish me off a few years down the road.
Just stay away from the northeastern coast if you're that worried.

Do they offer a degree in that?
