Am up in Hokkaido, Niseko to be exact....comfy townhouse rental..but we are really liking Kutchan a few k's away. More Japanese....and less of a tourist abode....thinking about getting a house there - it is cold - still 1-2 metres snow in the backyard.....Here in Japan (only spent a total of about five years total here in this wonderful country). After a couple decades of economic stagnation, the housing bubble bursting....the Koreans working hard to capture some business, the Chinese stealing it....you would think young Japanese would throw in the towel and lose hope. Far from it. The finest young people on the planet are here....studying hard, working hard, with great ambition and hope. We could use a couple million in Australia....to replace the drongos we've failed to mature - and think not getting a pair of Nikes for Christmas is a license to burgle. Been all over Japan this trip....Yet to see one example of graffiti...not one. Or any crime...of course....it's Japan. Just pleasant young people, hard at work, speaking very polite and respectful Japanese to this old fart......Yes, a couple million of them in Australia and watch the fireworks......supernova producer of everything.....
Our issues are less taxation and revenue.....just work ethic and applied innovation - not to mention decent parenting (and the Japanese are superb parents). And of course migration issues and foreign ownership problems.
They can build my subs anytime....I know those subs will work and meet specifications....

Japan is nothing to skite about. Demographic time bomb exploding now. Debt levels are out of control.
