[quote=Anonymous]I lived in Tokyo for a number of years.  As someone pointed out up-thread, it is a xenophobic nation.  I know a number of close friends who have made it their home.  But you never are fully assimilated.

It is safe.  If you show up and start dealing drugs the cops will be on to you within a day.  The cops come by your house every year to say ‘hi’ and verify who you are and you still live there.  Every neighborhood as a “police box” that is manned by a couple of officers.  The police force is a national police force so you dont have the tens of thousands of police forces we have.  They generally have their act together and solve crimes.  Their conviction rate is above 90%.  You do not want to have anything to do with their criminal justice system.  All foreigners have to register and be fingerprinted.  You are issued a foreign registration card and are supposed to carry it with you.

Healthcare access is good but one of the reasons the cancer rate is so low is, docs over there don’t want to tell you that you have cancer, so it goes underreported.[/quote]
