I would say that Japan is just like most anywhere else in the world.

Life is what you make of it - it isn`t magically better just because you`ve changed surroundings. It`s no different than moving to another city in your own country in that sense. If you do pretty much the same things, your life isn`t necessarily going to improve.

As for weirdness, that really is subjective. After 10 years of living in Japan, I find the US weird when I read the news or visit.
