I sometimes wonder where this idea that Japan is some incredibly technologically advanced nation. Sure in Tokyo it's pretty flashy but in the vast bulk of Japan it is anything but hi-tech. Frankly in rural Hokkaido where I live it's a bit like stepping back in time compared to the technology I was used to in Australia. In many parts of Japan I've been to I seriously wonder at times if I'm actually in a modern industrialised nation at all!
