Tokyo did renew my faith that it is possible to pack people together like sardines in a somewhat harmonious manner.

How many mexicans and blacks where doing a million man march in Tokyo? Didn't think so. Did they have a gay rights parade down main street?

Japan has a BORG culture - not a melting pot like here in the states no? One race, one culture, one history - didn't hitler say something like that?

May be it is because of their culture but people are very courteous and co exist admirably.

I am certain that is a HUGE part of it - how often did you hear the rapper "50 cents" singing about raping a ho and popping a cap in his bro? It was all over the malls in Mexico. Funny to see the nice little mexican catholic school girls in thier formal school clothes dancing to 50 cents rapping about murder and rape.

Tokyo is without a doubt the cleanest city that I have ever seen of any size.

Have you ever been to salt lake city, Utah - near the temple - that is currently my record holder.

Similar to what you observed in China, the work ethics in Japan is "scary". You can see their attitude at all levels, from simple waiters to all the "salary men". It would be much easier for us to compete against them if only they will be more European.

I totally agree with this assessment and tried to argue that point with Regli

Grace said perhaps this generation of global peoples can not make changes to thier underlying habits - we need a whole new generation of people for the change everyone is calling for.

The students protesting in Paris should go visit Tokyo and rethink their future in world that await them.

If only we could send them all there for a month - it would give them a new perspective. Then perhaps they could alter certain fundamental beliefs and what they feel they are "entitled" too - but looks like we are gonna have to do it the "hard" way. Pull up a chair and enjoy the show - hehe.
