I also drink a lot of alcohol with my meals, but I find that often Japanese people who eat with me refrain from ordering alcohol because the next day is a work day - so Fridays will be a day that everyone orders alcohol for example. I have

This article might be alluding to an age difference since I am in my early twenties, but I can attest that I am a weak drinker but I drink more alcohol than virtually every Japanese person I have known - only Westerners and a number of Asia

I also live in Japan currently and I find the drinking culture to be weak. I've met a few people who drink daily but they tend to come from other parts of Asia (Korea etc...) where drinking is very common. This article might be alludin

I think this is more age related. I am actually in Japan currently and I can attest that no-one I know will drink daily like in Europe, possibly weekly but the weekly drinks tend to be far stronger and bigger. A European will have a couple

As someone who is living in Japan, I would say that Japanese drank less than Europeans for sure. Europeans will drink a couple of glasses of wine every night for example.

There are more westerners outside the US than inside the US.

It is broken in many countries including India and China. The issues are the duopoly over global transactions, the monopoly over the transactions, and the dominance of the US dollar in situations where other currencies would be more efficie

Japanese people drink far less than westerners though. Those work parties are just one-off and not regular things.

Islam is hardly the best place to go looking for advice. A mediocre person is not a dumb person and may well be proficient in certain views.

It needs to be mentioned that casteism is less of an issue in the major urban areas and in South India. In these places it is possible to grow up and live your entire life without having to deal with caste, and Bengaluru is of the biggest u

Casteism is generally a smaller problem in urban areas and in South India, so technically casteism is a smaller problem in places like Bengaluru where the IT tech companies are based. A major reason for the issue might be based on the fact

IT is one of the least casteist sectors within India though.

I wonder how the French got into that problem since nuclear power plants exist in tropical countries where the temperatures can get incredibly high.

The tragedy is that people who want to use the railways are put below freight in priority - whereas other countries such as Russia and India are capable of mixing both.

The social structure and how you view friends or make friends are different in all cultures including Japan. Japan does not have the concept of "casual friends" or "light hearted friends" in the same way that places like

But this assertion was more about racism than walkable cities.

Something I learn in Japan was that you also need to have friends/people who share the same ideology as you. In Western Europe there would be people who support you making a startup but also EXPECT you to have free time outside working

I also live in Japan but I wouldn't use the term "kissa" outside MangaKissa or a traditional coffee shop (and who goes to a traditional coffee shop on a normal occasion?)?

Tokyo is basically centered along an orbital railway line, so if you were to walk out from this line that you would be basically walking to the suburbs with suburban highway roads to take you to the outskirts. And furthermore Tokyo is indee

You could bet you that those four people would have the same thing happen to them in Japan's walkable cities as well. It is nothing to do with walkable cities.

Walking is simpler and easier in most cases though. I find that the issue is more about how far people are capable of walking (e.g. fitness levels in much of Europe and Asia are better) and the fact that most people here have walked long di

Yes but that is nothing to do with walkable cities.

This assumes that the people are living far away from the railway, which is obviously the opposite situation in much of Europe and Asia.

I currently live in Japan and I have never come across a jazz kissa, though Jazz outlets do exist in some multicultural/expat areas they aim themselves for foreign clientele. Also kissa is a rarely used term in my opinion with other sl
