As you have lived in the U.S. for a longer period of time, don't you start to see the good and bad aspects of Japan, and the aspects that need to be corrected?
If I had not come to the U.S., I would not have noticed that some things are common knowledge in the U.S. I am not an American fanatic by any means.
I have seen and know a lot of the "messiness" and bad aspects of America. However, there are many reasonable and good aspects. The purpose of this topic is to discuss everyday examples, and to get the word out and spread from this place to Japan.

My dream is that some local government in Japan will discover this topic and start working with the topics discussed in the topic and say, "Let's create a model city ！ that is different from what Japan has been used to.

The topics are limited to topics related to Japan.
Politics, economy, weak police force, corona problem, injection problem, working style, internet diffusion, stocks, virtual currency, English education, prices, land prices, earthquake, defense problem, lack of credit card diffusion, lack of my number diffusion, health insurance, retirement benefits, tax evasion friendly society, criminal friendly Self-Defense Forces are paid too little, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. ？ Let's discuss anything else.

＞ If you tell them you don't have a PIN, they can just sign it


I see, that's a way to do it.

But when I experienced it, I gave up because I thought the purchase would not be completed without the PIN.

In any case, I was surprised at the difference between the Japanese system and ours, since we don't require a PIN for purchases made with a credit card here.

Next time I go to Japan, I will contact my VISA card company to get a PIN in advance.

You need a pin to withdraw money from a bank ATM ？
You also need a pin to cash out at a grocery store
？
Or maybe you leave it to your wife ？.

In the Showa period, many of you were probably taught by your Jikyogumi teachers that the Emperor was a war criminal and that a national anthem that honors him was immoral. Also, weren't they told to read the Asahi Shimbun's Tenseijingo? And then, we are led to the "Yutori" education, which is a horrible story.

Gonko,

＞ You need a pin to withdraw money from a bank ATM ？

When traveling in Japan, many guest houses and stores only accept cash. However, in Japan, there is no need to pay cash at all and I have not paid cash recently. When I pay for car wash by credit card, I ask them to add the Tip to the amount of the car wash fee, and then I get the amount in cash and give it to them as a Tip.

Even so, I still keep a few $ 20, $ 5, and $ 1 bills in my wallet just in case.

Ah, there was one. I've been to a small Mexican restaurant that only takes cash, so I pay cash there. So when I go there, I check my wallet before I go out because I am worried.
