[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What country was so magical that it prompted you to post? Truly curious. [/quote]

Japan.  South Korea.  Thailand. Singapore.

Zero tipping. Cheap healthcare. Zero gun deaths on the news in Singapore, South Korea, and Japan. Amazing quality food in all of them.  Public infrastructure that’s about 80 years more advanced than the U.S. in SK, Singapore, and Japan. [/quote]

Those countries have high trust societies. We don’t have that in the US. We used to, but we don’t anymore.[/quote]
I like South Korea and Japanese expectations of social order and decorum.  I was riding the Seoul Subway once and there was a group of young GIs being extremely loud, using foul language, loudly playing rap music, and even sitting in the seats reserved for pregnant, elderly, and disabled passengers (a huge no no in Korea).  A middle aged Korean woman started to berate the group on their lack of manners and disruptive behavior (I speak Korean fluently).  One of the females in the group cursed at her, tried to push her, and then spit on her.  A number of other passengers then got the Korean women away from the danger.  At Samgakji Station, Seoul police boarded the car and dragged out the GIs.
Imagine that happening on the DC Metro.[/quote]
