Japan (Tokyo, at least), is crazy fast. I remember staying at the Shinagawa Prince, three years in a row, and it overlooks that big-ass office park, on the other side of the station. One year, I look out, and there’s a huge empty lot. The next year, there’s a steel frame, for several buildings. The next year, the lights are on, and the buildings are obviously occupied. Also, their standards are very high. They weather massive earthquakes, quite well. |
