      I love how it's always “americans” as if we’re all the same or like other countries don't do the same things we do. It's not JUST America. I could bet you money that other countries do a lot of things Americans do so shut the fuck up, you ignorant FOOL.

    While as a tourist in Japan I apparently looked lost while trying to find a Buddhist temple in Tokyo. A man stopped to help me while I was looking at a map. He didn’t speak English, but figured out what I was looking for when I pointed to the temple on the map. Instead of pointing me in the right direction, he gently took my arm and walked with me for about fifteen minutes leading me to the temple. When we got there , he let my arm go, bowed and walked away. Fifteen minutes out of his way! That’s the essence of the Japanese. Remarkable people.

      @thetandog Don't be so sure, my friend. I was born in America and live here, and a while back I was driving along a country road. I passed an elderly woman and as she disappeared from view I sensed something wrong, u-turned, and found her now sitting on the verge. She had stumbled and was in some pain, so I drove her to a hospital 30 minutes away, waited with her for 3 hours while she waited, then was examined, then had x-rays taken and treatment prescribed. I drove her to her home and we said our goodbyes. That seems... human, not particularly Japanese, or American, or...

      @@johnstrawb3521 God bless you. I'm sure it did her a world of good. I drove 2 women home late one night, after pushing their car with my car. Their car conked out, then started, then conked out. I knew if it was my mom or sisters I would want someone to give them a ride home. Besides if I got crazy with them, it would have been 2 to 1 and I think that helped them feel safer. This was before cell phones. But it does your soul good to help people, and I'm sure they appreciate it. Oh and that was also when one car could push another car and it wouldn't do any damage to either one.

Japan has a high suicide rate for a reason. Women are always second to men and are bullied and harassed by their bosses, men on the train and their husbands. People of darker skin are treated with contempt. The Japanese are obsessed with racial purity and have both an inferiority and superiority complex. Because the culture is so stifling, these issues never get addressed.

      I think having respect for others is one of the most important values a person can have and should be taught to every child. It's such a freeing feeling when you can trust strangers and acquaintances not to harm you in any way. This is what I love about Japan and Finland (where I live now). In the US respect for others is even more important because of all the differences between people, but unfortunately it seems things are not heading in the right direction over there.
      I also sometimes feel like I don't have a home country (I was born in Poland), but perhaps the best solution is to find a group of friends with which you can just be yourself.

Once I was inside and looked back, some Japanese lady had picked it up and was holding it up high yelling something in Japanese looking for the owner.

    There was this one time when I visited Japan and my brother had stopped by the side of the road to take picture of the Tokyo sky tree on the other side. When he finished taking the picture, we all realised that a van had stopped and actually waited for my brother to take the picture as the driver did not want to ruin the picture before checking if we already finished taking the picture and waving to us goodbye as he drives off. If the driver had just drove through, he would have made it pass the green light ahead but instead he waited for my brother and after moving forward, had to wait a while more as the light had turned red. If this had been my home country, things would probably be very different.

The first 5 people filed in and sat in the back row. The next 4 in the row in front of them. The 10th person flipped down the jump seat between those four and sat. This was repeated, from back to front, in military precision, until the bus was filled. (In the U.S., it would have been a mad dash all over the bus and chaos.) Dave Barry once wrote that you could get all of Japan to wear the same color jump suits easier than getting two Americans to agree on pizza toppings.

    Went to Japan a few years go, such an amazing place. The people are so polite and helpful. It is so clean and safe to walk around. People are so respectful to each other. Luv the food and the history. Australia is just so far a behind in every way, it must be a real shock when they visit us. Everyone should visit Japan at least once you will not be disappointed.👏👏👏💗🇦🇺

      @@GreekImageArt hi, I meant far behind in regards to some points of our infrastructure such as technology and Public transport so should have made myself a bit clearer. I couldn’t get over how clean the public toilet set up was over there, like little mini hotels , especially in shopping centres in the major cities.

      @@leanneneville2431 never been to Japan, I would love to go, I think it's the tech capital and one of if not the most organized countries in the world but I think somethings the take to extremes. On the other hand I 've been to Australia, it's very organized and clean and the people are friendly and open minded, so in my opinion even if Japan is a bit more organized, Australia is more balanced and have no doubt it is a role model to many other countries.

    I’ve only been to Japan once, and while looking at my phone to try to find the way to our Airbnb a young man saw us and asked we needed help… and then lead us on the almost 1/2 mile walk to the location! - going completely out of his way in doing so! Very helpful and polite people! No culture is perfect, but they have a lot of great qualities.

    I guess that's a reason for me to want to live in Japan, if there are no major flaws there. A lot of things being convenient, places being prepared for different situations, and best of them all - almost(?) everyone is polite and does things like people have to. That's what every other place is missing. And of course, a lot of really weird but fun stuff

    So i'm a driver in training and just a few months ago I would have wondered why most people in Japan reverse park. Because I'm now learning, I know that parking in reverse makes it a lot safer to pull out, and so I love that everyone is so focused on the safety of others in Japan

    • @curiouscat9

      I suggest you also drive vans and other vehicles that have limited or no rear vision. It helps you understand how to position yourself near big vans / trucks and understand that they can literally not see you in certain corners. Good luck with your driving lessons

    • @curiouscat9

      @@RacingPepe Your comment reminds me of a certain "idiot" whose (well earned) demise I witnessed live.
      He was driving a motorbike behind a trailer truck (those long ones with 20 wheels). The truck slowed down in order to make a right turn some distance further. Our hero thought it was a good opportunity to overtake the truck.
      Thus his bike suddenly appeared in the truck's mirror while it was already midway through the right turn, and the driver couldn't apply brakes in time.
      While our hero had likely never driven a truck, it does require having a very low intelligence to not realize that such a long vehicle can have large blind spots (even if you don't actually know where or how big they are).
      To add insult to -injury- death, the insurance company refused to compensate for his death because he had died due to "negligent/rash driving" (read as "stupidity"), and the police did not file any charges against the truck driver either because he was clearly not at fault.

      Also vehicles are much more maneuverable when the steerable wheels are at the rear. I.e. it is easier to park precisely if you back into the space.
      The first vehicle I learned to drive was a forklift, and that has had a permanent impact on how I drive, and park. :)

Also sushi on a conveyor belt with price color coordinated plates that you pay for when you're done eating. Mind blown.
