Some Japanese musicians came into the station yesterday.
There were about 10 of them, they smiled and smiled, bowed and smiled again. I was, as usual, overwhelmed with their good manners. Quite unlike us here.
In Japan *no one* uses a mobile phone on any of the trains. A really important businessman (one suspects) might use one quitely between the carriages.
OTOH, one sense Japanese society takes a dim view of substance abuse, which is why they like it here perhaps.
I loved Japan and would go back in a flash. They have good public transport and food (to die for, actually).
