>>713527979As a resident of a place full of brown people, and consequently extremely dirty and noisy, I watch videos on YouTube where a guy walks around Tokyo with a camera on his head, and holy shit, it's insane how quiet such a giant metropolis can be. It's hard to believe.
I know that in the past in Japan this wasn't the norm, chaotic urbanization often brought residential areas together with commercial and industrial areas, so you had total chaos, with the noise of machines, people selling things, all right next to where you live and sleep, but they apparently figured out a way to deal with that, at least in Tokyo.
