// 我為什麼喜歡住在日本?這裡安全、乾淨、秩序井然,幾乎沒有意外。火車準時。去餐廳吃飯,食物和圖片上一模一樣。麵包店和美食廣場一塵不染。店員專業、有禮貌,認真對待工作——看不到手機,甚至不會和同事談私事。街道大部分地方都一塵不染,尤其是在郊區。你不太可能在地上看到雜草或散落的石頭,更不用說垃圾了。我聽過有人說寂靜的火車沒有生命,但作為一個熱愛寧靜的人,這裡非常適合我。這裡是強迫症患者的天堂,一個為內向者和外向者打造的地方。我不知道東京是如何做到這一點的,但儘管它是世界上最繁忙的城市之一,我卻在這裡找到了其他地方無法比擬的寧靜。今天看到火車站台上排成一排的工人正在清理原本並不髒的護欄,我感到很自豪,覺得每個細節都很重要,都值得關注和尊重。
Why do I like living in Japan? It's safe, it's clean, and it has order. There are very few surprises. Trains are on time. When you go to a restaurant, the food that arrives is exactly like it is pictured. The bakeries and food halls are immaculate. Shop workers are professional, have manners and take their jobs seriously – no phones in sight, or even talking to their coworkers about personal things. For the most part, the streets are spotless, especially in the suburban areas. You are unlikely to see weeds or stray rocks on the ground, let alone trash. I have heard some people say that the silent trains have no life, but as someone who values peace and quiet, it suits me perfectly. It is an OCD paradise, a place built for introverts as much as extroverts. I don't know how Tokyo manages it, but despite being one of the busiest cities in the world, I have found a calmness unmatched by anywhere else. Seeing a line of workers on the train platform today, cleaning a barrier that wasn't even that dirty to begin with, shows me a sense of pride, that every detail is important, and deserves attention and respect.//
