This is a new section that is dedicated to finding little examples of Japanese Culture that make you smile!
Japanese Clean Up Football Stadium
After Japan's crushing defeat in the World Cup fans made sure the stadium was free of litter. Fans stayed behind and cleared up the stadium, something which I think most people would find surprising especially considering they were defeated. The bathrooms were also cleaned by the time the fans had left.
Why Did They Do This?
One fan when questioned about this said
“It's our tradition. Living without waste is much
better,”
In relation to Japan
In Japan it is thought to be proper to clean up after yourself in public, even if it means taking the rubbish home.
Why we love it
Imagine if every country in the world did this! The results would be amazing but alas right now it's only in Japan but maybe you can change that ;-)
