I can see the benefits and negatives of both countries. Japan is often ignorant of many things as it is a mono-culture and an island nation, but once they make a decision (such as recycling) it is adopted very quickly. In Canada (and N.America) we tend not to listen to authority and we are often culturally disconnected. Of course I'm generalizing, but I can see the strengths and weaknesses of both cultures. However, Japan is the admiration of many countries and cultures, hopefully you can see the benefits as well as the weaknesses.

If you want electric hand dryers that don't point at your face, where are you to go? <br /><br />Half of the toilets have half of their 'features' disabled to conserve electricity. Toilets should not NEED electricity. This is over-thinking, and it is completely wasteful. If there was this much 余裕 in Japan, why not make the roads safer: lights for pedestrians, wider roads, or educate drivers not to cut people off? <br /><br />This country is all about flourish for the outsider, and has very little safety or forward-thinking for the person living here.<br /><br />shigzeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09250571456173773152noreply@blogger.com
