Japan has to be a strong contender, if you are looking for peacefulness in your day to day life
Social pressure is so intense that people rather kill themselves than do anything out of the ordinary... Do not confuse conformity with peace.
Not in my experience there. It the only place I have ever been where you can be in a gas station/ convenience store late on a Saturday night in a less than flash area, and see a guy rock up dressed like Liberace and do his shopping and flounce off without anyone even batting an eyelid let alone commenting. You wouldnt try that here. Yes, there is a degree of conformity enforced there around behaviour by social pressure, but in other places it is by violence
So they are too stiff to even make comments ;-)
You would have such freedom here in my region as well.
the work life balance in Japan is pretty fucked up, isn't it?
It depends on who you work for and what industry you're in, but it is not as bad as it used to be. Have friends that worked in Japan
Can't be violent if you're busy working or too tired after work...
