I don't know why you got downvoted, but your comment is spot on. So many Western people have this weird fascination with Japan, like it's some kind of fantasy & cyberpunk wonderland. But when you live here... well, it's just a normal place with normal people, some cool technology (but nowhere like the 80's) and some really outdated practices.

Anyway, if you want to have a good laugh, I would recommend you to visit JCJ: https://www.reddit.com/r/japancirclejerk/
