I can think of a puzzled if not terrified Japanese traveler taking a “wrong offramp” in San Francisco/East Bay or Detroit, and feeling “America is weird”. ;-) Actually, weird is a little bit everywhere when you think about it.

I’d be terrified, myself. No time to be puzzled.

Having had the experience of trying to explain various bits about American culture to Japanese, I believe that Japanese are generally puzzled by our country.
