The nigerian street touts late at night in Kabukicho. I never felt in danger in Japan except for walking around here after sundown. These guys will not leave you alone and do not have good intentions.

there was actually some sorta recent laws/rules made to make them less aggressive about it, if you can believe it. although honestly I never really felt too troubled walking around there at night? you just do the same thing as you do for people looking for money on the streets back where I live, that is to say, keep walking, look where you're going, don't even acknowledge they exist in any way (not a "no thanks", not a glance at them, etc)

The impression I got is that they are far more responsible with recycling/garbage than the US is.

The thing that surprised me most about this sort of thing is the big garbage incineration smokestacks they have. I went up a tall building in tokyo and you can just look out across the city and spot them once you know what they are. they even have these little display boards outside them that show how much energy they're generating and how much of various types of air pollution are created and etc.

my country still just dumps it in landfills mostly because we're too incompetent to build incinerators
