About

Having visited Japan in November, I noticed things that we take for granted in the United States—things that suck—and these things are really starting to get to me.

This blog is intended to be a spot where I post something after I think, "well that would certainly never occur in Japan!" or something to that effect.

Quickly, the noise in America bothers me after spending time in quiet Japan.  This is the major issue.

The Japanese appear to take something that seems just fine in America, something we can live with, and make it just a little bit better.  Like the noise...Tokyo has about 36 million people, and it is quiet. Tokyo is more quiet at its busiest point than Portland, Oregon on a Sunday afternoon.  It is appalling to live in such a sound-polluted environment.

Not in Japan...
