It’s so weird when you have an experience with a location or culture and you have it set in stone how it is…. My almost month long time in Japan last summer. I left there with such an amazing impression of the people. Of course I know there in crime there, but this is WOW! Never have I been surrounded with such kind, caring people.
A big problem with the Japanese is that they have so many rules, people kind of build up craziness. The porn for example, they blur out private parts, but then you can buy a schoolgirl's panties in a vending machine. Its kinda strange. Nice people, you can leave anything unlocked and chances are nothing will be stolen. But yeah, they had a tokyo gas attack a while back, yakuza is real, and they are super racist.
