It is said, in Japan, you could leave your wallet on a restaurant table and come back 4 hours later and it would still be there untouched.
To those that say “all cultures are equal”, I present - Exhibit A: Japan.
That game was incredible!
What ever trash is there when we arrive, we usually pick up and dispose of it properly....
This is very Japanese.
Even their boxes are neat. Buy any simple item like a box of cookies and it will be carefully packaged. They take pride in the simplest of the things to make it look beautiful.
I left my gloves on a counter and turned around an less than a minute later a black woman grabbed them and stuffed them in her purse.
Then had the nerve to argue with me that they were hers for 10 minutes- until I just grabbed them out of her purse and threw it down the aisle...
Some cultures are better than others.

Isn’t the term “locker room”?
And as mescins thew crap on the field ..
It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose
It’s how you played the game.
Funny. I haven’t heard that in many years.
When I was younger I lived in London for13 months. I would occasionally help out at a B & B that would gets lots of Japanese young tourists. Their rooms would be immaculate & they would always leave a tip & a tiny origami animal on the pillow. Very sweet people.
Japanese school kids clean there own classrooms and their school bathrooms.
I also think about the MESSAGE this sends to Russia. I doubt they seriously considered the international relations aspect of their behavior, because, for them, it is EXPECTED no matter where they go, so it’s old hat, but Russia will certainly APPRECIATE them and will probably look more favorably towards them regarding the thorny issues of the Kuril Islands and China.
I also doubt the Japanese government even considered asking them to behave that way, in fact their reaction is probably something like ‘Well, what special about their behavior?”, for them it’s all in a day’s work.
