I understand it, the "disagree votes" and whatnot. At the end of the day, I fully expect to be a -4 wrongthinker for posting this. People get defensive when you start talking about their country, but they've never set foot here. It is mind blowing. You cannot buy a 30 year old vacation home ANYWHERE in the US for $650. Like, you get the land, the house, everything. You couldn't even RENT one for a month in the US at that price.

Life is ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE better in Japan than the US. It isn't even close.
