"Recently, a retired police officer, Yukio Shige, began patrolling the cliffs and has so far convinced 129 people to not jump and seek help; he keeps in touch with every one of them to this day."-Wikipedia
An example of a great human being.
Posted in: You can see what people are here for just by looking at the way they stand on the edge. Most of them look relieved and soon break down in tears when I just say 'Hi.'

Agreed. You can see examples of this on various levels of the society. Shame culture indeed.

Thailand is free to do what they want, but this sure makes them look archaic on the international stage.

Not quite. While bullying probably happens across most cultures, kids in the West seem to have a stronger sense of self, stronger social skills and more access to social/mental services than Japanese kids.

The Japanese police are a joke. Unreported rape, groping and sexual harrassment are probably high. BUT, I find Japan to be the safest place I have ever been to.

Posted in: Blood type is a good tool to understand different human behaviors. Most Japanese have some knowledge of each blood type and its trait so blood type often becomes a good conversation piece.

Interesting article and comments.
I have found that most Japanese DONT ask "why"? When I ask them a "why" question the response is usually "becuase it's a rule" or "because it's Japanese style".
From what I have experienced Japan is hardworking but not efficient.
