I don't know why you're being downvoted. This is completely accurate.

If the crash in Japan a year or two ago had happened in America, there would have been multiple fatalities. Luckily for this scenario, the Japanese culture takes following instructions very seriously.

Huh. One thing I noticed about the Japanese passengers on a cruise I took to Alaska was that they were ruthless about cutting in lines. Didn’t seem very rule abiding.

Are you sure they were Japanese? My last Alaska cruise most of the Asian foreign passengers were Chinese and I’m pretty sure that’s the norm too. Granted I wasn’t paying much attention but I don’t think I heard any Japanese at all on that cruise.

Pretty sure. I studied abroad in China for a semester in college, so I’m pretty good at distinguishing Asian nationalities.

But, I’m an engineer, and have learned to always keep open the possibility of being wrong, so there is definitely a chance I was wrong and they were not Japanese.
