residential - tokyo

I am always amazed at how much Japan has changed in the last 50 years. The USA has changed too, but not nearly like Japan. Whereas Japan has built new buildings and made much progress in infrastructure, America has let its cities crumble and fall.

Whereas Japan has added more and more trains, America has cancelled train routes. Whereas the crime rate in the USA grows higher and higher, Japan is the safest nation on earth.

I truly admire the Japanese and Japan.
