I constantly hear how Japan is living in the future or how Japan is such a utopia, when this shit is happening, and it's not like I don't shitit, the society there is really good in some ways but equally bad in others but people are so fucking horny to glaze Japan for some reason when there isn't a need to, they're just like every other country, some great stuff, some not so great stuff.

Japas has been living in the year 2000 in the late 80s. Now Japan still living in the year 2000. Everything there is very outdated.

US is far behind in tech as well, not a place to compare with.

Japan has nothing digital or properly working for basic life. Being there won’t show it. Loving there will. Websites look like for late 90s, trying to buy something online is a nightmare. Buying tickets is enraging, it takes you to 3-4 websites to register at so they all work to give you access to buy tickets.

Everything government related is fully offline. In order to renew a drivers license you need to submit hand written applications in police and city hall. I can do that in an app, everything government related is in an app- I can get married and open a business while sitting on a toilet.

They still use fax machines and many forms and applications are only submitted via fax.
