One of the most striking things about the aftermath of Japan’s huge tragedy- earthquake followed by Tsunami is this: there are no reports of looting, lawlessness, police having to protect property from gangs, and other negative anti-social behaviour.
Another striking thing is the report I heard over the BBC about people calmly standing in the streets of Tokyo and elsewhere, busy texting on facebook and twitter, while the world rocked about them.
Now, herein lies the seeds of a 600 page article… or two.
Japan remains ‘the Land of the Rising Sun’
