Oh Tokyo,
They got some saki, and sashimi, and some clean sheets,
Oh, kimono, oh, kimono,
Tokyo’s the town that I love the best,
East may be East, and West may be West,
Forget about between, it’ll drive you insane,
And teach you things you never knew before.

And yet it still seems to work out there. A similar or even 75% that crowd at ‘Land, WDW, or the Universals would be unruly.

Another really nice ass back to Tokyo is that panhandling is almost unknown.

I'm struggling to figure out what the phrase "nice ass back" means in this - curious if it is a newer phrase for something or other?

I’m guessing ass back should be aspect.

I wish I had a clever comment, but nothing comes to mind.

That fits - I simply was at a loss as to the intended meaning!

Not enough sleep last night... ;-P

A little over 1 percent of all people in Tokyo are foreign.

If you are sick and tired of “multiculturalism” (which is often haranguing monoculturalism) Tokyo is a very good place for you.

I've encountered rude teenagers at Disneyland & WDW (only on a couple of occasions, granted).

There's wasn't the slightest problem in Tokyo. The cliche about the Japanese being polite exists for a reason...it's true.

“nice ass back” means that his speak and type app (Suri?) on his iPhone misunderstood the words “nice aspect”.

“D” wins with “A” and “C” close runner ups,, but you must admit that a homogenous culture has advantages... no losers in the bunch.
