      the other reason foreigners consistently get goggle-eyed over East Asia is because they go to the nicest and most modern bits, whereas at home they've probably been to, like, your average city. i was very blessed by getting to spend my first year in China in Shijiazhuang.

      I will push back on this a little and say that one of the things that makes Japan feel like the future is a high standard of living even in remote places—some space vending machine standing in a field, above all the sense of things working by default, and people doing their jobs

          I don't consider myself infatuated with the country, but this specific sense of everything "working by default", and the fact that thought and care is put into almost all things, from consumer items to public spaces, matters far more than fast trains or general wackiness

          I think this aspect of Japanese life can be praised and emulated in a crowded world without having to turn a blind eye to the country's many faults, especially as you point out the horrific sexism, work culture, and inability not to wrap everything in 42 layers of plastic

          Faxes ATMs Seals / chops Clamshell mobiles Lift operators Over reliance of outmoded, single use gadgets Rampant sexism and xenophobia Non productive work places Web design standards that haven't changed since 1998 Love Japan, but it doesn't feel like the future.

          All of the above, try living there for a few years and it will start to seem like an efficient legacy machine that can't be patched/updated easily, has missing or out of date user docs

          think this is true to some extent but there are seriously depressed parts of japan that definitely don’t feel like the future, maybe yesterday’s future at best
