Indians usually feel proud of their ancient Indian culture and talks a lot about that. But I see they don’t show that in actions. Many people give lectures about corruption but when they or their children enter government, they are the one who becomes corrupt.
Most of the people don’t try to change their attitude towards society and their parents also don’t bother to teach them ethics. These days, Indian parents are not even thinking to inculcate discipline and good habits to their children.
Indian parents give their children whatever they ask. Be it a costly smartphone, bike, pocket money. They just don’t bother how they behave outside. If every parent brings up their children in a proper manner, then no one drinks, smokes or takes drugs. No one disrespects women. No one disobeys traffic rules. No one gives bribe to others. And the list goes on.
However, the Japanese are not like others. They are known for their discipline. Even though Japan faced many nuclear attempts, it stood as an example for other countries in development. Japan which is called the “land of rising sun” gives importance to technology, rituals, quality, and income.
The cultural practices and random facts about Japanese culture make Japan a must visit destination.
Japan is not like any other country and you will also say yes to it after reading these facts. These are the things that other countries should learn from Japan.
1. Drink Cans Will Have Name Written On Braille
2. Bus Drivers Strike In Japan Is Different
If bus drivers are on strike, they continue driving but refuse to take a fare from passengers. It means, everything is on time in Japan but costing the bus companies gas on top of lost revenue. They hurt only company not the customer. If Indians could follow this type of protest, how beautiful it be. But I know, it will never happen.
3. Fans Stayed To Clean Up After FIFA World Cup 2014 Match
In India, people consider fanism in a different way. The actors and actress, sportsmen just act or play for money just like any others work for money. But people build temples for them, die for them. Yeah, a blind fanism!
But in Japan, that’s not the scenario. After the FIFA World Cup 2014 match, Japanese fans stayed behind to help clean up.
4. Japan Provides Healthy Hospital Food
In Japan, hospital people provide hygienic and healthy food to patients and pregnant women. It is very clean than diet food; cleaned vegetables are boiled and cooked without any food colors. If the hospital staff makes a mistake about the food they are dismissed. And they are forced to pay the fine. We know the scenario in Indian government hospitals.
5. Baby Seats Are Attached To The Walls In Bathroom
The only mother knows how difficult it is when they have to use the bathroom urgently. It will be good if the Indian government could follow this.
6. In Japanese Toilets, You Can Wash Your Hands And Reuse The Water For Your Next Flush
There is water scarcity all over the world. It should be incorporated everywhere.
7. Japanese School Children Clean Their Classrooms As Part Of Gratitude
In India, school children just listen to classes and go back home. But In Japan, students clean benches and classrooms as part of showing gratitude to the school. By doing this way, they also learn how to become more productive members of society. If this is followed in India, parents become angry and will organize strikes.
8. Just Look At The Manhole Covers. Beautiful, Isn’t It?
There are so many potholes all over India. The Indian government never cares.
9. This Picture Itself Says How Smooth The Bullet Train Is In Japan
You don’t even feel that the train is moving. And we know, how it is in India.
10. The Note Says, “I Accidentally Knocked Over Your Bike And Broke The Bell. I Am Very Sorry”
I don’t think this will happen in India. People shout back and put the blame on others.
11. Thinking, What It Is? Well Commuters In Tokyo Pushed A Train Car To Save A Woman Who Fell And Got Stuck Between The Car And The Platform
12. If You Miss Your Shopping Bag On Japanese Street, Just Go Back And Look. Someone Will Place It Next To Any Tree Untouched
We need this kind of honesty all over the world.

Which means even drainage waters are so clean that fishes can swim.
15. You Can Rotate The Seats In Any Direction In Japanese Trains
16. Discipline! My Dream To See This Among Indians

18. You Can Know About Occupied/Vacant Toilets Information
19. Just See How Tokyo Commuters Waiting For Their Train
Do you think it will be possible in India even in dreams?
20. Check The Dots. Their Discipline Everywhere
21. Tokyo Train Company Tsukuba Express Apologized For 20-Second-Early Departure
Indian parents should teach their children to accept their mistakes if they really do. But they won’t. Throw blame on others and enjoy.
22. Japanese Innovative Parking Lots
Japan also faces a parking problem with a 30 million population. But they solved it by creating some parking lots especially in malls which are arranged in stairs.
23. Technical Umbrellas
Umbrellas in Japan will have a plastic cover at the end of holdings that covers the complete body without wetting. Even though normal umbrellas are found in the market Japanese prefer these types of umbrellas.
24. Dating In Japan Is Different
Dating in America is quite common but dating rules in Japan are very strict for girls and they can’t communicate with many boys.
25. Japanese Trains Have Designated Smoking Rooms
I seriously feel this should be followed in India too.
Any change is possible if the Indian constitution is changed a bit. In the present scenario, Indians are not afraid of punishments. In other countries, there are strict punishments for every small bad act.
The irony is the same Indians when they settle in abroad follow discipline. But when they come back to India, they again make roads dirty.
People blame society but they forget that they are the society.
What do you say? Which point would you like to see in India? Share us in the comments. Well, you will be equally amazed at Japanese shocking school rules.
