Probably because when you give a date in English, you verbally say/speak it "July 12th, 1993" You don't pronounce it twelve July 1993.
On Topic:
Post pics. Everyone says they're going to Japan, but very few people come back and post pics. It's a shame.

you can also very properly say its the 12th of july, 1993

Woo, my trip is finally bought and paid for. I was trying to coordinate a group of friends who want to go, but there were too many challenges with schedule conflicts and making everyone happy, etc etc, so I finally just said the hell with it, booked & paid for mine & my roommate's fares, and essentially told everyone else, "Here's what we're doing, fend for yourself and go or don't go."

Tokyo:
Check out Yoyogi park during the weekend :). All the cosplay peeps hang near the JR station.
Plus a few minutes walk up beside the park and you will see all kinds of bands playing on the street trying to get noticed. Pretty fun.
Walk down and you're on Harajuku, all the designer shops and small vendor side streets.
Of course everyone checks out the shrine at Asakusa as well. But that's quickly done.
So much to do in Tokyo :D. Just watch yourself if you go partying in Roppongi, been quite a few drugged drinks -> rippoffs at the more seedier places.
<3 Japan.
Ixarku:
IIRC there's a festival in Asakusa the weekend we get there, so we'll have to check that out... plus a sumo tournament is going on that month, so that's on the list of things to do as well.

For those of you interested in going to Japan and concerned about ticket prices, IACE Travel is doing a 40th anniversary special with a 1 day super sale. I'm jumping on this sale and I'm sure others will too!
