re: Tokyo, Shanghai, Osaka……why is that?

I'm going to guess that right out of the gate, they actually enforce prosecution of their criminal code.

They are a different breed than we are. The average sorority girl has more testosterone than a Japanese man.

Japan has something that no one in America has, or at least way too few here do.
And that's a culture of pride in the country combined with care for other people.
Not only is crime super low but there is no litter, graffiti, and public transportation is clean.
Heck, they take pride in making sure trains are on time. I mean exactly on time. Even a minute or two late will warrant a public apology and an investigation.
Manufacturing is loaded with pride and care for the company's success, regardless of the level of employee.

Osaka is also the “ghetto” city of Japan. I have never been to Japan, but I highly doubt I would feel unsafe anywhere there

Their criminal code: Japan's drug laws are extremely harsh against foreigners & a foreigner arrested can be held without access to legal council for several mths. For citizens, its drug laws are fairly moderate, enforced but not harsh. But according to my Japanese d-in-law, arrests & subsequent prosecutions are the norm. A rap sheet with no consequences, to the extent it's common here, just doesn't exist there.

At another school, a teacher punched 3 students in the face repeatedly, because they werent taking the PE activity seriously. No charges filed. Wasnt even fired

7 teachers at one school buried 2 male students in the sand up to their chins, as punishment for poor behavior. No charges filed

I left school early one afternoon. I decided to take the bus, then the train across Tokyo. I forgot one symbol on the train. I ended up 20 miles from the base. Had 200 yen left in my pocket. (less than a dollar)

Walked forever until I recognized the train station outside Grant Heights .....

Arrived home at 7PM, I got the leftovers from the dinner the maid prepared.. Next day I had her write every bus or train sign I would encounter.

It was funny .....folks would stop and try to talk because they knew I was lost. I knew just enough Japanese to get me headed in the right direction.

Sorry, no groping on the train ......

Small population of males carrying 2 bags.

Say what you want, but 3 years living there taught me don't let your white wife or daughter ride the subway/train alone. There's a reason you can buy used ladies underwear from vending machines over there.
