it is a fairly safe crimefree area.

That's what I would think. Smile

Unlike here, guns aren't allowed in Japan, neh? That cuts down on violent crime and robberies quite a bit, I would think.

Ok, but the crime rate is still low if you compare to Los Angeles...
I think I would feel really safer in Tokyo than in Los Angeles or Paris...


paris ,, yeah at night can be a bit uncomfortable alone in some areas .. but the good thing of paris is that life 24hrs many places ...

luv to go stay in japan for sometime .. maybe in 2 yrs... i had some girls with me out here ... Naughty

i like the polite culture .. but one sees the affect of westernization in the people who have been working outside japan ... they r very different from traditional japanese..

They pretty much have to chase 'em down.

Besides, in a run down they can't shoot someone in the leg... Everyone would be crying police brutality.

Especially here in L.A. Sweat

not really, the leg is the place to shoot em
since it wont kill them, or maybe thats just ny, and we are so used to our guys getting shot in the neck for holding his keys in his hand, with his back turned to the cops.
i just mentioned the leg part, cuz maybe they could stop a dangerouse criminal without killing him. Beaten

I'm trying myself to go there this summer. Hopefully I can convince the Mrs. Fingers crossed Big Grin I hope the cultural aspect, and the world's fair in Aichi are enough to overcome the cost of such a trip. Sweat
