- anonymous5133 7y agoSame goes for Singapore. Crime to littler and also the culture there values cleanliness of the city. When I was there I almost never saw trash on the ground, ever. I once saw a plastic cup get blown off some lady's table and the next person who was working on the street who saw it picked it up and tossed it in the trash bin. Public trash bins are everywhere. Absolutely a world-class city in every sense of it.

She cleaned and readied everything inside, swept the front curb of her shop, then proceeded to perfectly sweep the ~10' wide sidewalk in front of her place to the street's edge. How Tokyo lives with its hyperdensity suddenly made sense.
- ethbro 7y agoFrom an individual's point of view: they also fine you up to $5,000 and give you community service if you get caught littering.
- siedes 7y agoGood thing in Japan, even if one or two people litter, there's at least 100 other fine people who will be there to pick up after you happily without even thinking about it. Man I'd love that here in the US
