Japanese is a beautiful language. I first fell in love with Japan through its language, and I don’t think it’s very hard. Japan has wonderful traditions. There’s nothing else like the Japanese tea ceremony, or the art of putting on a kimono. Japan has so many nice ceremonies and art forms that really help you to relax and appreciate the beauty of the simple things in life. We just don’t have things like this in Thailand. Japan has the best customer service in the world. in Japanese they say that the customer is God. Japanese employees go out of their way to help you and make sure you get everything you need, and they are almost never rude. Any mistake or delay will get you a profuse apology, and they will do whatever they can to make it right!. Japan’s transportation system is excellent. The trains in and around Japanese cities are amazingly convenient. They are very frequent and almost always on time. Japan also has lots of special paths for bicycles, as well as bicycle parking lots!. Japan is a very safe country. Japan does have its share of crime and you can never be completely safe anywhere, so you should definitely follow common sense safety rules wherever you go. But still, Japan’s crime rates are quite low compared to most other countries. Although this may not be advisable according to common sense and I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this to anyone, I often went out walking around or riding my bike in the middle of the night by myself and never felt any threat to my personal safety.
