When I had a chance to visit Japan I had to get on a giant escalator leading somewhere out of the airport. I was completely lost.
I noticed that everyone standing on the escalator remained on the right. This was to allow those that walked up the escalator to have an open lane. That was impressive.
Then when I finally got a change to walk around the city I noticed huge crowds of people at street crossings. They would wait until the light signaled that they could cross.
Next I noticed that store owners would actually sweep and scrub the sidewalk outside their shop. Like on their knees with soap and scrubbing the entrance to keep everything orderly and clean.
The people were incredibly respectful and orderly. And they seemed proud of their country and it showed in how they kept everything clean and well presented.
My experience may differ from others, but I was impressed.
