I mean I don't want to sound delusional like some of the posters Ive seen that assume japan is just made up of big ole cities with anime and crazy t.v. shows.
I was comparing Japan to the US I completely understand I cant just walk from one end to the other like its a field trip in d.c.
I figured it was a good idea to at least be able to communicate on a moderate level. That makes sense to me regardless of how many signs are in English or how easy it is to get around, its the right thing to do.
Rural Japan seems ok with me. I love the fact that the Japanese really guard some aspects of they're culture and that you would most likely see alot of that in the smaller towns/cities. I'm a very simple person I don't need sensory overload to be happy.
I might be wrong though I've never been.
