CJ, > How did you judge? The size of the houses? There are all minor points and highly subjective to the viewpoint of an American tourist, but here goes: a) Public restrooms are not that great (and I gotta pay to use most of them?) b) Quality of hotels are not at the level I'm used to in America, dollar for dollar (or euro for euro). c) Cars are smaller (but at least they're bigger than those in France and Italy). d) Streets are narrower, even in the farmlands and villages. e) Grocery stores and "Wal-marts" not as nice. Though I gotta say this. When I say that the standard of living does not match up to that of America, I'm not saying that European countries are inhabitable. I'm just saying that there are a lot more luxuries that I take for granted in America. No wonder we're fat and lazy here. Tenchusatsu
