In no particular order:

- 17 months salary (looks like Taro gets 22 though!)
- dirt cheap high-speed Internet
- conbinis everywhere and 24 hour supermarkets (recently)
- availability of electronics (from TVs to cameras to PC parts)
- learning new things every day just through daily life
- summer fireworks shows
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

I've got another one to add...

Car navigation!!

Damn that is useful. The only downside is that if you use it all the time you never learn the roads.

Ok..

1. cheap high speed internet
2. cheap computer parts
3. girls
4. cheap alcohol
5. the fact that the bureaucracy is not integrated enough to work out if you are scamming them! (not that I'd ever do that!) 8)
