Here’s a great story from one of our Japanese language school students, Mohammed-san, of how safe Japan really is:<\/p>\n
Many people can’t imagine how safe Japan is, but that’s one of the big reasons that make me love this country and its people. I always tell my friends that Japan is so safe that you can leave your laptop or your bags at a cafe, and come back after one hour to find your stuff hasn’t been touched. <\/p>\n
One day recently I was running to catch the subway to school from Fujisaki station. Once I arrived at Akasaka station I realized I didn’t have my wallet! I panicked because it had my Saudi driver license, ID card, bank cards and more than 130,000 yen (about 1,500 USD)! <\/p>\n
So I talked with the little Japanese ability I had to the station staff that I lost my wallet in Fujisaki station, because the last time I used it was to buy a ticket there. He asked me my name and immediately contacted Fujisaki station, to find out that they had my wallet. I was asked to go and pick it up. <\/p>\n
It turned out someone had picked it up and given it to the station staff. The station operator asked me to show proof of my name so I showed him my Genki Japanese language school timetable and I signed a paper to finally get my wallet. After I got it I checked and found all my money and cards were there. I was surprised because there is no place I could think of other than Japan where such a thing is possible! That’s why I think every Japanese person should be proud of this.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
