> I had the privilege to live in Japan for one year
The people that are gushing the most about Japan, ready to defend its honour on every corner of the Internet, are those that don't have much experience living there. Says it all, really.

> Western countries are kind of a shithole compared to Japan
I'd really like to know how many Western countries have you lived in for at least a year.
I've lived in three and find it amusing how there's two camps arguing with a straight face as if they could generalize anecdotes/conclusions about large amorphous entities. Both Norway and Venezuela are western countries. Tokyo is very different from rural Hokkaido. San Francisco is very different from New Orleans.
