I'm going to miss this place...
- You can pay for a bottle of water with a 10,000 Yen bill (~$85) and the cashier won't give you dirty looks.
- You can sit at a restaurant for as long as you want after your meal or even order only drinks and no meal - the manager/wait staff won't give you dirty looks or rush you out.
- Whenever you are thirsty, there is always a vending machine.
- Whenever you have to use the bathroom, there's almost always a clean one nearby.
- You usually never have to wait for the subway/train for more than 6 minutes.
- The draft beer is pretty much always good.
- You don't have to ever think about tipping.

Ah, Japan's technological advances, Singapore's enforcement of laws, San Francisco's weather, etc.
It would be great if there was a single place on the planet that had the best the world had to offer. But wouldn't that be the definition of Utopia?
Semi-random note - this book is supposed to give you an interesting perspective on Japanese culture from the perspective of the subway gas attack 10 years go:
Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche
I haven't read it yet but you should check it out while you're still in Japan.
