Great things about Japan.
1. It only takes 15minutes to open a bank account.
2. You are only 10minutes away from a good restaurant.
3. If you ask someone for directions, they might even take you there.
4. If you go to a restaurant and they tell you the soup will take 5minutes, not only they will say sorry 100 times, but will also give you a 10% discount (without you saying anything).
Please feel free to add more in comments .
