Again I totally agree.
Sigi you are such a voice of reason on a joke thread lol
Some of my best friends in Vancouver were Japanese. I tutored one girl english and she tutored me in Japanese. Very polite, very friendly...if I ever go, I will have many places to stay.

> There were about 10 of them, they smiled and smiled, bowed and smiled again. I was, as usual, overwhelmed with their good manners. Quite unlike us here.

> In Japan *no one* uses a mobile phone on any of the trains. A really important businessman (one suspects) might use one quitely between the carriages.

> OTOH, one sense Japanese society takes a dim view of substance abuse, which is why they like it here perhaps.

> I loved Japan and would go back in a flash. They have good public transport and food (to die for, actually).
