Almost everything? These people live in shoe boxes, and you have to be a millionaire to get a parking spot in Tokyo. The men work all day long and then have to get drunk with their coworkers in the evenings. They smoke and drink too much, and you can never get a straight answer out of a Japanese person.
If you're a foreigner there are still a lot of landlords who'll refuse to rent to you. The cops are famous for beating confessions out of suspects.
And local protestations to the contrary, you can't get a good steak in Japan, as if you could afford it anyway.
- deciplex 13y agoYou can get excellent steak in Japan. The best steak I ever had was at a teppanyaki restaurant in Ginza. You pay for it though (~¥50K for two people, at that place).
- ericd 13y agoHave you ever had steak in Japan? In my experience, it was uniformly excellent, much better than what you can find in most places in the US. And the same parking spot issues apply in Manhattan as well. But it's moot because you don't need to own a car in either place, and you probably don't want to, because it's a huge hassle.
- lerchmo 13y agoYou can get the best steak in the world "Kobe" in japan.
- mahranch 13y ago> These people live in shoe boxes So "downtown Tokyo" = all of Japan now? I lived in Japan for 14 months and I can tell you right now they don't all "live in shoe boxes". Hell, my rental flat in Japan was bigger than my 2 bedroom house here on the outskirts of Sydney, oh and it was cheaper. > and you can never get a straight answer out of a Japanese person. Let me guess, you got all your information on Japan from Debito or that Gaijin forum?
