I love Japan... but...
I have some complaints.
People on the train/bus: This is a pet peeve of mine I am getting while I'm here in Japan. Japanese people are the nicest in the world, in my opinion, but when you are on a train or bus they act like New Yorkers! They push and shove their way onto the train, some young people don't give up their seats for the elderly, etc. When your stop is coming up and you need to get off, you would think a simple 'Sumimasen' 'I'm sorry/excuse me' would be sufficient for people to move out of the way for you.. NOT. You literally have to push the old grannies to the side to get off the train before the door closes. I ride a local train so there are not many gaijin/foreigners riding it, and the Japanese sometimes wonder if I am lost or something. I've been asked if I neeed help getting somewhere, and when I am standing right next to the door about to get off people walk in front of me before the door even opens! They think I'm not getting off or don't know where I am, it is VERY frustrating.
