What Country is the best?

[DownOnRodeo]

Didn't know you were intrigued to go to Japan, Brian!

I was going to add that today I was looking through a Japanese high school geography textbook and there was a small chapter on 'other countries' (ie the US) but it was almost all about Japan. And yes, Japanese generally think that their country is the best. But don't we all 'love the one we're in'? It would suck to live in a country you thought was lame.

Of course there's good and bad points to each country based on personal preference. I love(d) living in Australia, but Japan is equally good for totally different reasons.

Younger Japanese are fascinated by the US, but many that I have spoken to who have visited there say it was an awesome trip but they'd never want to live there... I swear you could see a sort of harrowed, almost terrified gleam in their eyes as they said it!
