There are very few places outside Europe that I'm interested in 
visiting. Japan and Tokyo in particular are two of them.

Still, though, I think the Japanese, like the British, are very good at 
exporting their culture -or more accurately, what others perceive their 
culture to be like- and making everybody believe how incredible they are.

The irony of Japan is that their offices are like 20 years behind the 
West (and most of Asia I'd guess). They still work with fax. They're so 
afraid of failure, that managers are extremely reluctant to introduce 
change. It's like the polar opposite of Silicon Valley and I can't 
imagine what it would be like to be running a software development firm 
there.
