Having visited Japan a few times the Japanese pride in their country, politeness, helpfulness
and respect for every animate and inanimate object is striking.

Japan: It's a culture they have from being young. Children clean their own schools, they do not employ cleaners. Also school meals are prepared by students and everyone is responsible for their own mess. Japanese teachers stand at door and welcome students.
Britain: Drop it someone else will pick it up. Children drop litter, spit, and spill things in school, and they refuse to pick it up. Schools employ cleaners. Schools employ cooks but most kids hate school dinners and eat crap instead. Teachers hide in staff room until bell goes and think, sh** here we go.
I've added a bit of humour here but after 23years in London schools I have seen it all. (Most kids are good and most teachers are good

(Most kids are good and most teachers are good I mean Japan also has a notoriously meat grinderesque education and work culture, one of the highest suicide rates in the developed world and a word specifically for death by overwork. So swings and roundabouts. |

It's not sweetness and light in Japanese culture of course. They killed my uncle in 1942 and threw planes at my dad in 1944-45. Just saying...
