10 Things I Love About Japan

1. the people, nicest friendliest politest

2. the total lack of crime, being able to leave your car running while you go into a shop (took me a while to pluck up the courage to do that one). its actually difficult to get theft insurance for your car as many places dont sell it! theres just no demand

3. the scenery. i guess i was lucky in niigata, i had the mountains close by and the beach seconds away. japan is a stunningly pretty place

4. cheap used cars

5. the food

6. onsens

7. the ski resorts

8. tokyo...totally batty/crazy/hectic/huuuuge place....but so cool

9. the absolute lack of chavs

10. dunno...hard to pinpoint, but the whole culture is so so so nice to live in, its such a friendly, warm, clean, happy place. i guess the best thing i can say about it, is that it brings out those qualities in you, it perpetuates you being friendly and caring, which brings the same out in others.... i guess thats the best thing you can say about any place, or anyone for that matter, that it/they bring out the best side of you.
