While Japanese do not.
You can tell this by even looking at how clean Japanese buildings are vs American buildings.
And of course this doesn't apply to all of those two categories.
Most of the buildings out here are pretty filthy... I guess the humidity doesn't help that though as it just eats into everything!

Seriously, you are wasting your time putting Japan on a pedestel and America in the bin - ALL countries have good and bad points so don't think Japan is 100% squeeky-clean just because things are easier to sweep under the rug and pretend they never happened out here!
