This is normal in Japan?

What is normal is that every girl working in Mcdonalds is more attractive than most women in tv and movies in the west. Thats what struck me when I first arrived.
Also whats normal is a packed train with people stanbding up but an empty seat next to you if you are a foreigner, as soon as you stand up to get off the japanese guys legs suddenly become tired and want to sit down now.
So its good and bad.

Not Japan, but I'm sure it's the same principle.

I've always wanted to visit Japan, and yeah, it may have to do with that romanticization tbh
Any deep rooted problems Japan has that some don't care to talk about? I'd like to know tbh.

You get a free XL-size side order of pubic hair with your clams at McDonald's.

Pubic hair + they cry like a child during sex. Enough for you?

I’m more worried about just how ugly women in America are, this isn’t the first time hearing something like this.
Baffles the mind.

As a tourist you'll almost certainly not notice them.
In my humble opinion, Japan is:
- #1 to visit as a tourist.
- Fantastic to live in short term (a couple of years).
- On the lower end of developed countries to live in long term. Though if you don't care about wider parts of society and love rules, then it'll be much higher.

School-age looking girls giving out pamphlets to maid cafes and stuff. Super creepy.
I noticed a lot of Japaneses people have bad teeth. like not rotten, but wonky.
Work home balance is non-existent from what i've heard.
10/10 place to visit though if you're an anime/videogame nerd.

Well there's the working yourself to death part.
All that enjoyable part of Japanese entertainment? Good luck finding the time for it.

My uncle that works at Nintendo Kyoto Is telling me that Is very true.
I generally saw attractive women just about everywhere in Tokyo but it also could be because they don't have a massive number of obese women everywhere like in the U.S.
I was so close to just all of a sudden taking a vacation to Japan in two weeks due to the airplane ticket prices, even hunted down my passport, but I don't want to stay there for a week or 2 but for 2 to 3 months.

The ultra creepy shit seems more exclusive to Tokyo and the big cities, in smaller cities and towns I didn't come across much of it.
I don't understand why they have wonky teeth. My experience with dentistry in Japan was great. It was so cheap, so accessible and the care was amazing - all compared to the UK.
Work / home / family balance for a lot of Japanese is quite awful from what I gathered in my time living there. Worst in the public sector like Education and any Government or public service jobs. Also probably for most companies, but I think its slowly improving for some. At the very least they get around 20 public holidays a year and work leave too, I think 10-20 days depending on the job. In education, I got 20 days leave + 20 public holidays. It was a good deal and I had freedom as a filthy Gaijin to use my leave without criticism in a way the natives perhaps werent. Another issue outside of the long work hours is poor salary. Minimum wage in the UK is about double what it is in Japan. They must have a hidden poverty crisis that's not really discussed. - about $7p/h in Tokyo....
Minimum wages rise in Japan from October | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News
Minimum wages are rising across Japan from the start of October amid rising prices, with a majority of prefectures implementing an increase on Sunday.

Its a 10/10 place to visit if you love hiking, nature, temples and of course the cuisine etc. During my 3 years there I mostly stuck to rural areas for trips and hiked up many a mountain and witnessed some of the most beautiful sights in my life thus far. The food was simple but so satisfying too.

I think they find it cute. It's known as yaeba.
Yeah Japanese porn is some of the least attractive I've watched. Even in the gay porn they squeak. Just bizarre behaviors.

And the implications that it might be McDonald's. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it isn't even close.

Factually incorrect. It's normal to them.

Took me awhile to realise what I was looking at.

Don't get me wrong, I love Japan.
They have such an extraordinary culture and yet they can be so weird.

Just to pose a thought experiment, how long would you have to be engulfed in Japanese culture for it to not be weird?

I've lived in America my whole life, and there's still so much about American culture that weirds me out.

I ask the question because America has so many cultures intertwined, so that might be a bad comparison.
It's almost impossible to pin down what American "culture" is.
Whereas, Japanese culture seems mostly homogeneous.

Materialism (advertising), ageism (leaving the elderly alone to rot), crabs-in-a-bucketism (always watch out for #1), the pageantry of any given NFL game, and more.
I don't watch TV, so when I do witness the non-stop faceblast that is television commercials, I get very weirded out and like I'm watching something alien. Like this dystopian satire come to life:
