      New York City is almost as polite as Tokyo, almost as safe as Tokyo, and almost as convenient as Tokyo. How amazing is that.

      However, NYC is much louder than Tokyo, much shabbier-looking than Tokyo, much dirtier than Tokyo, slightly more crowded than Tokyo, and somewhat more expensive than Tokyo.

      Obviously it depends on the person, but in general I'd say NYC is a bit better if you're under 30, while Tokyo is a lot better if you're over 40.

          Also, NYC is a lot better if you’re a woman, black, or non-Japanese Asian.

          Japan is facing a crisis with its aging population and debates over repealing Article 9. Trump has vacillated on his foreign policy with Japan, so it’s no wonder they are wondering if they should have a standing army.

          Ironically I visited Tokyo when I was under 30 and will be visiting NYC next year when I’m 40.

          I was in Tokyo when I was 20 and was like “this place is fuckin’ clean” and wasn’t sure what to think about it so yes I think this is right.

          36 didn't do a damn thing in NY but my career development course, still enjoyed Manhattan. Didn't enjoy the fact that someone pulled an ebreak on the E train and I had to pay for a cab to LGA.
