Ahhh... it's good to be in Japan. Outstanding and professional service from people because they care. To top it off, there is no tipping. Service industry workers consider it insulting to be offered a tip. It implies they don't make enough at their job.

If any of you get the chance I highly recommend a visit. Preferably to Kyoto and the country side, to see traditional Japan.

Of course the influence of western culture is slowly poisoning Japan as well. I guess I'll just have to enjoy it while I can.
