Suburbanites waiting in line for a Tokyo-bound train


One of the best things about Japan is how well-mannered its society can be. Manners are such a big part of Japanese society that they have even added our the English word "manner" to their dictionaries. Though it is written in katakana characters, one can see it written all over the nation such as at public smoking areas, in priority/elderly seating in public transportation, and on almost all cell phones here as the function that keeps it quiet.
Some of the things that get to me about this country that I consider bad manners are vehicles with loud speakers making announcements, and smoking indoors at places where there are non-smokers. That's all I can think of right now. Have a nice weekend!
