Peace And Quiet

One thing I noticed in Japan: quiet. Even when around dense crowds, spaces remain eerily quiet. Inside train cars, you rarely hear others conversing. In the busiest of train stations, you really do not hear much noise.

It’s peaceful, but to my American ears it tends to border on spooky, at times. I think I could warm to the idea, though. The Japanese culture keeps space clean and quiet, and that’s refreshing.
