Well I do think Japan is lucky for all the games and Anime stuff.... I always thought that the super cute school girls with skirts do not exist in real life but as long as I wasn't in Japan myself... a man can dream^^
Even if you counter all that... I would still think that Japan is waaay better then Germany.... as long as you aren't in major capital cities Germany is so mega old fashioned that it's not even funny anymore... also the mentality here is meh... our countries population grows older and older because many young people leave the country. Let me put it like this in short: Life in Germany is very ok, just for technology aspects it seems way behind in daily life.
