Hello from Miyagiken

[Erk]

It is still pretty different, just not in the way many people expect. It is a grand time, I highly recommend it. Just remember that it is no better than North America, it is not some wonderous place where everything is super high tech and perfect.

I teach English at two different Junior High Schools, Silverwolf.

True Erk. What Airline did you get there by?

The big difference that I saw was the recycling areas, compared to the U.S.'s littering and multi-purpose garbage cans.

Send us some pics!

That's less a Japan thing and more a "every first world country other than the US" thing, though. A Canadian wouldnt notice a difference

I was just all over Vancouver for three days, and I didn't see any more or less recycling going on. Honestly, the only way I could tell I wasn't in the US was the slightly lower SUV to car ratio.

I've only been to Ontario. I only remembered it was so clean because I was looking for steriotypes and everything else was exactly like Boston, basically, other than the city was really clean.

Hello, Erk.
I'm glad about your coming to Japan.
I hope everything goes well. :lol:

 

[Erk]

So far so good, Ceno It is a bit hard to speak Japanese all the time, but I am getting better.

What city did you go to? I live in the Mississauga\Toronto area, and I dont find it very clean at all. Maybe its cleaner then US cities?

 

[ryanwh]

Definetly. And furthermore, it was during the beginnings of a garbage strike. Still miles ahead of Buffalo or Baltimore.

 

[bluehazed]

yeah... toronto isnt the best when coming to clean. i live i windsor, tho its a little better only because its smaller.

please try not to necropost, bluehazed, especially in the announcements section.
