/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Before I came to Japan I thought it was a modern country, however when I actually came there I was disappointed to find out that it's far from modern.

If you venture outside the small areas of major cities that have modern office buildings and a few high end residential buildings most buildings in japan are of 3rd world standard built out of paper thin wood and corrugated iron sheets, without central heating and generally super crappy. If it's not built like a shanty town shack then buildings are out of depression grey/brown concrete with prison cell sized apartments.

There is nothing interesting to do either. All the otaku areas are super tiny.

The bottom line: Don't come to Japan expecting an advanced civilization.
