I can back what J says. My brother Jiro went to Tokyo representing Mexico on the FOODEX at 2006. Since we are descendants, he was easily mistaken for a Japanese native, and he did not have a single word to answer to them, just a big confused face.

When he took walks touring around the city, he saw complete cleanlyness… and close to no dustbins as J said. Not to mention that greens and fruits where skyrocketing expensive. All complete and perfect order.

Tijuana, on the contrary, one of the most complicated places to be. Littering on the floor or in the “appropiate dustbin” is almost the same, since they are both as much unattended.

We could learn a lesson or two from them. It does bother me a bit to see trash around a trashcan which has almost no trash in it. Along with rode sides full of garbage thrown out the window.

Lovely!!

I hadn’t ever vacated anywhere as clean as Japan. Places I’ve been have been cleaner than London. But not so much so that it took me aback and made me consciously and socially aware. But Japan was a real eye opener. It made me realize how terrible the UK is when it comes to things like recycling and just overall hygiene on the streets.

Japan is so clean that it definitely leaves a lasting impression on you when you head back home. I’m sure not every place in Japan is clean and spic-and-span. But the places I saw were. And for such highly populated cities and districts to remain so clean is pretty impressive.

That sounds like heaven……. if that’s the case, then NYC is a nightmare, take it from me. x.x

I live in the Coney Island neighborhood and a McDonald’s recently opened right next to the train station. OMG, as soon as that thing opened, the streets practically flooded with wrappers and bags. It was SO disgusting!!! Seriously, not enough people give a shit about its condition…
