Japan

Where the only thing more abundant than vending machines is politeness.

Japan: Where the concept of personal space is merely a suggestion, like the concept of sleep for a 3-year-old.

Japan: Where a 24-hour ramen shop is the only place where the phrase "I'll be right back" means "I'll be back with a new bowl of noodles."

Japan has more than 5 million vending machines, selling everything from hot coffee to umbrellas.

The Japanese railway system is one of the most punctual in the world, with average delays often measured in seconds.
