Actually I was not  impressed with the Japanese service, rather surprised at 
the way they did things.
Like to get your car inspected they rob you blind. Unlike back home a state 
inspection runs thirty bucks. Or  if any little thing goes wrong with your 
car as in my sister in laws case I think she needed a radiator and they 
suggested she sell it and buy a new car. I was glad to see the Autobacs 
store open.
And don't ask to get your home repaired OMG! (call NASA)
It really freaks me out when we go out to eat and all order at the same time 
but the food comes out at different intervals. (that seems to be a lack of 
thinking)
And why doesn't anything open till nine am?
 I see workers doing tasks very methodically and I know I could do that same 
task in half or one third of the time.
Oh good lord I could go on and on...
But I still like it in Japan and if that's the worst of my problems, I've 
got it made.
