There are some things which absolutely frustrate or incense me about Japan and how their people live. Yet this country is safe and prosperous. Here are ten reasons why:
1) By and large, they follow rules and regulations which can threaten life or limb. They do, however, flaunt laws and rules that are inconvenient to them, such as smoking in prohibited zones or cutting in line without a second thought.
2) They are neatly dressed and groomed.
3) They keep their house exteriors relatively free of litter and junk, at least when compared to many areas of the States.
4) They keep slender and relatively fit because they ride bicycles and don’t food graze in malls on weekends.
5) They have unspoken allegiance to their company, at least until recently.
6) They will spend money for perceived quality.
7) They do not have fist fights or Uzi-ridden gang wars. Safety is the ultimate attractor factor for many foreigners coming from crime-ridden societies.
They are very time-conscious, with the train system as a model for the world of efficiency and safety.
9) They do not let religion or religious beliefs rule their every thought or foster intolerance.
10) The education system – while not fostering originality and innovation – does its job of teaching the fundamentals necessary for a functional life.
