Passing through as a tourist recently it appeared to be a very nice place to live (though merely as a tourist I don’t have the whole picture such as what it would be like to start a business there, pay taxes, etc.). People seemed very polite, honest, and sincerely interesting in providing good service and being helpful.
Not sure I understood their sense of humor though - 2 people in japan tried to convince me that Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. It was hysterical...
