street view from a japanese dude's POV

i read this and some following comments and they were interesting until they comments got tedious and i got bored.
but, yeah, it's an interesting jumpboard? dive board? to ask questions about the cultural uniqueness of a country like japan. and if that does exist, cultural uniqueness, whether that requires a different protocol (to execute applications that could be considered invasive, etc.)
i think in the end, there really is no right answer. perhaps japan is unique as any other culture is unique? it's one of those age old questions... about civilizations and making bold remarks about particular ones. (can they even be called "civilizations" anymore? i guess not they're called "cultures" or "regions")
