I know a lot of open minded Japanese people but they still tend to fall into certain traps of Japanese society, hierarchical language use, keeping distance with people, not wanting to talk about many topics, not being able to do things without making plans in advance.
Another thing that always gets to me as that in a group of 4 or 5 people, it never splits into groups of 2 or 3.
It’s understandable but I wish that the punks and hippies felt more easy going and relaxed 😝
まあ、英語上手な人はちょっと違うけど、日本はちょっと窮屈ですね

Japan is the complete opposite of Latin America where plans are spontaneous, strangers talk to each other, and things unpredictable.
Trying to follow all the rules to a tee in Japan can be stressful, but I miss the order and predictability of Japanese culture.
