A long way, the Japanese will still have to go until their table manners surpass those at a pigsty.

Slurping doesn't bother me but the goat cud-like chewing with your mouth open habits of some of the locals is pretty disgusting.
Is the number 4 thing still a thing? I definitely don't notice it much anymore in modern buildings and such. (Always got a kick out of it since 4 is considered lucky by us injuns)

Most buildings in NYC don't have 13th floors.

LOL, nutty superstitions....calling it the 14th floor doesn't even change the fact that it's still the 13th floor up.
