Just read your post re: Tokyo to my son and he agreed with everything you said. He and my husband just got back from Tokyo yesterday. They just decided to go there for vacation on a whim (planned trip 4 days before leaving). While they were there we had some huge immigration demonstrations here (So. California) including people demonstrating on lanes of the freeway (could you imagine how fast war protesters would find themselves in the slammer if they blocked traffic on the freeways?)
They too were in awe of the cleanliness, lack of crime, efficiency and work ethic. They were amused by the white-gloved "pushers" that shoved or stuffed people on to full trains. Also couldn't believe the women who turned the chairs around on the bullet train at the end of the run--my son described their frentic movements as if they were on a game show.
But the thing that impressed my 19 y.o. son the most was "the highest concentration of beautiful women I have ever seen in my life."
