I’ve never traveled to Japan but I hear that the citizens there are much more civilized than Americans and the tech there is advanced.

I do study a bit of their medicine “Japanese Style Acupuncture” and the technique (needle insertion) is much gentler than say a Chinese or Korean style technique. Even the needle itself to insert in the body.

Does this resonate with you if you are from Japan, have lived in Japan, or have visited Japan? #asknostr

I lived in Japan for 2 years. I can’t speak on their medicine or acupuncture, but the Japanese people are very different from Americans. They are very quiet, polite, and respectful people. The culture is quite different from the loud, outspoken Americans

Thanks for sharing. I figured so the politeness and quietude of the people.

What about cost of living and food culture there for you.

The food was amazing and there’s so many different options, obviously lots of different seafood options. And the ramen places are always great.

When I was there 2016-2018 the cost of living was high. It wasn’t exactly a cheap place to live or visit. I’m not sure how it is now though

I’m excited for some good ramen haha

Yea I hear that it’s expensive there (today) so makes sense.

Japanese are wonderful but they are very insular.

It's hard to get invitations as a foreigner unless you know somebody.

But to your point,

they have a very subtle and refined sense in everything they put their attention towards.
