Sadly, neighboring nations hate Japan, even to this day, and are probably happy, but maybe only schoolkids will be rude enough make a lot of comments. No, I'm sure they all will make comments.

^^^That may be but as for me I admire the Japanese and their culture which is largely respect and honor based. We could stand to learn a thing or two from the Japanese.

I guess that's why you went and got yourself a Japanese girlfriend! Truly there are quite a few things we can learn. From their culture.

The best thing Japanese have is their hard work in whatever they do. Secondly, their punctual of time, they care for the time and hate reaching late anywhere

The earthquake in central Japan serves as a reminder of the region's seismic activity. Thankfully, with no tsunami warning issued, immediate coastal areas can breathe a sigh of relief. It underscores the importance of preparedness and monitoring systems in earthquake-prone areas.

Japan is one country that has prepared itself for earthquakes; if it had been another country, there would have been lots of loss of life and property. They design their houses in such a way that they have minimal effect on earthquakes.

That is because they know that their country is prone to such natural disasters like earthquakes. So they are well prepared for it whenever it comes.
