Been there as a tourist. What a hospitality.. commendable. Every thing on this blog is true. Good bless people of Japan. With love from India. Wish I could visit again.
I have been a seaman for so many years. Visited Japan when I was an AB seaman, 3rd Mate and a Chief Officer and they have a very good work ethics, respectful of other workers and the most is their time management. If I ever have a chance to live there, I'll love to do it.
As an American college student, I was touring Kyoto on my own. At the end of the day I boarded a bus that I had assumed would take me back to my hotel. Unfortunately, I read the map incorrectly and the loop that would take me to my hotel was not continuous and I ended up as the last person on the bus at the last stop - the bus garage. The driver politely wrote down the number of the bus I need and walked me to the stop where I waited. A few minutes later, the bus driver, having finished his shift, pulled up in his personal car and drove me back to my hotel!
