They're far too honest over there (is that a bad thing?). Most folk walk around with their whole months wages in their wallets too.

Its true, the Japanese are very honest.

A friend of my dad went to tokyo for business. He bought some paintings there, and left them on the train platform. 1 week later, he comes back and they are still there, in exactly the same place. Fancy that!

Japanese people, in my experience, they are one of the best kind of people to do business with. (Yes i realize i am only 20 and haven't ever sealed any proper business deals, but still.)

Except you have to sit on the right couch in their office, they freak out at facial hair and their English is terrible, I agree that they are great to do business with.

My Japanese aint all that either!

Last time I was there I noticed the phone boxes had phone directories in them that weren't chained down. And they didn't stink of piss.

I was in Mos Burger where the tables have a powerpoint for your laptop and wifi. A guy decided he wanted more coffee so he went downstairs to the counter to get one. Left his laptop on the table without a second thought.

Can't see that happening in Camberwell Maccy D's.

I used to know this old farmer, he was captured by the japanese during the war and they tortured him pretty badly, by all accounts. He was a nutter and wouldn't even let people park japanese cars on his land.
He kept various weaponry in strategic positions around the farm in case they came back for him!
