Country Discussion...Japan

[dholliday]

Japan have made fascinating & unique contributions to world-culture...but are arguably a quite impenetrable folk.

I'm into classic samurai & j-horror flicks at the moment...they deffo have their own vibe going on. also very familiar with their music-/camera-/gaming-tech: these have had a massive influence on the world.
would love to visit one day...a well-travelled mate who regularly goes says it's the closest thing to visiting an alien civilisation lol

Top of my bucket list to visit.

Don’t even really know why, will probably hate it but it just looks cool as fook.

Would of been ace that mate. I’d probably only go to Tokyo as they will be used to knob head tourists like me but I bet the rest of the country is great.

Very high covid vaccination rate.

Heard they don't like horse gel.

Ye, there are weird bits of the country id like to go to. It is safe also, which makes it appealing for taking my kids.

I have spent all the budget now so will just go to Greece

My Son wants to work out there when he finishes education. You go from mountains to a city life within a short period of time. Great place

 

[Jimishorts]

Outstanding toilets and transport infrastructure.

 

[Runub]

Too many natural disasters for my liking. Earthquakes, Tsunamis, all kinds going on there. Swerve

We need a thread on the best toilets and urinals in the world

The missus went there a few times with work. Very clean, ordered, polite society. Workaholic ethos drummed into them at school. High suicide rates.

Good whisky.
