[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 454467, member: 3419"] Absolutely!!! That's a great testimony to organization and integrity. DDD, I grew up the opposite, in the 60s and 70s. Adored the Japanese--art, philosophy, history. Flew there with-husband and spent a week touring. Unforgettable trip. Wonderful, generous people. Clean, clean, clean. Came home via Seattle, walked up the terminal off the plane, saw half doz Americans with-huge pot bellies, untucked shirts, vending machines didn't work, bathrooms weren't clean. Wanted to go straight back to Kyoto. In regard to "thinking" vs mono culture, they are having growing pains, as news stories about teen suicides attest to. Not to mention the agoraphobia, and addiction to computer games. They are coming up with-come great therapies, which we should pay attention to. It used to be, that the Americans would invent a product, and the Japanese would copy it and improve upon it. Now it's the Chinese, but they copy the products and sell them at half price. ;) [/QUOTE]
