46 things that foreigners find surprising in Japan.

Actually, the title of the article is 外国人が日本に来て驚くこと46個. The highlights for me were:

1. The trains run on time. (I've never understood why they don't in other places)

8. Tabacco and SAKE vending machines. (I don't know why these aren't in other places)

22. Japanese like using Yahoo. (I was speaking once to a Google employee, and I told him why Yahoo, and why it was better and he called me stupid. You might have a good search engine, but your other service offerings are terrible Mr. Google. Also, したい should not always default to 死体! Your input methods and autocomplete are disgusting!)

46. The cutest Japanese girls are always dating the ugliest foreigners (カッコ悪い just doesn't translate well, but yes, they are that.)
