Engineers run Japan not lawyers like the US

Their society is just levels-more sophisticated than the US, it’s interesting to experience.

What would it take to relocate to Japan from the US besides a job?

It’s pleasing to all 5 senses. Wrapping up a two week trip right now.
The weather is fantastic right now. Simply feels great outside.
Everything looks clean and organized. No trash.
No off-putting smells and every store smells fresh…even the public bathrooms which are everywhere.
No loud noises like in other large cities. No sirens, car honks, construction, music, yelling. It’s virtually silent on the trains.
And last but not least, the food is simply amazing. I can’t stop eating.

America used to not be trashy and everything worked on time like it was supposed to. Back when men were men and Americans prided ourselves on our work and the nuclear family was important.
Then we became fat lazy slobs and allowed too many third world immigrants at the same time

Without a doubt. This “diversity is our strength” crap is just that, crap.

Amazing things can happen when you have a homogeneous society and live on an island.

Oh, I wouldn’t blame only third world immigrants.

I’d love to one day visit Japan and a lot of Asia and truly experience their culture and people.
Having said that, I would not trade their efficiencies for our liberties we have here. I’m sure that sounds hokie or even naive to a lot. But it is so true. I like Americas mix of can do/get it done attitude but also our little bit of laziness mixed in. Idk. I feel totally in control of my destiny and like I can overcome most obstacles with some grit and thought.
Japan runs like a top but humans really aren’t meant to run that way. They are so rigid and shoved into little cubes and worked to death. It’s nice to visit, but I think overall we are just not built to run like machines.

Like Singapore. Absolutely loved how clean it was, amazing what strict compliance, police force that will enforce the law and no drugs will do.

No, I’m saying it because Japan is a homogeneous society.

JAPAN: In the village of Nagoro in western Japan, there are no cheerful voices or laughter of children playing on the streets.
The school, the bus-stops and even the streets are eerily quiet. That’s because there are no more children in this community where the last school closed in 2012.
Tsukimi Ayano, 69, is one of only 27 residents remaining. To inject some life back into the village, she created life-sized dolls and scattered them all around the community.
They dot the landscape – along the streets, outside empty storefronts, clustered in the defunct schoolroom, like a scene from a creepy movie set.
“Some (of the dolls) resemble people who used to live here or passed away,” said Ayano. Once a thriving village of 300 folks, Nagoro faded after residents died or moved away looking for employment. The youngest villager today is 55 years old.
