Ah, you start realizing that !

And that too, that's new for you ?

I would never consider moving out of Osaka for the lack of conveniency (it
is one of the most convenient place on earth), but I don't appreciate so
much living 100 m away from Nippon Ham and Duskin factories and the
Shinkansen line, or having 1 million neighbours on a surface my grand-mother
considered enough for 12 cows.

For that I hope, that's better in your little place where you need Amazone
to buy English books I read for free during my lunch break. You can't have
your cake and eat it. People make a choice.
Well I know Japanese small towns that cumulate pollution, over-crowding,
traffic jam, and little-townish mentality, that's sad.

I don't defend everything in Osaka, but you didn't target the real problems.

So, now, I'm going to take the train at least 5 minutes to go to eat in a
French restaurant with people that have mistaken values. Really, they do,
I'd prefer a pique-nique on the Pompom mountain. The weather is so nice !
But that's not convenient to walk 1 hour in the woods, so...
