and Japan is what I'm interested take your time explaining though.
Japan overall has been great; inside the Tokyo area, I've never really had a bad experience with the people... most have actually been quite friendly and approachable. The same is true for most places in Japan but very rarely, you might come across a light incident of "racism". I say this like I do because really, I've only ever been coined as gaijin like 2-3 times throughout the years and that doesn't hold much brevity as an insult.
It's hard to sum up the atmosphere because it comes in so many different forms... inner cities in the Tohoku region like Minato are bustling and very active. It's very... stimulating and at night time, it's beautiful and almost awe-inspiring. Step up north to Hokkaido and going to somewhere like Sapporo, and it's more calm and somehow more homely. There are lots of great natural spots planted throughout Japan too if you want to unwind/go somewhere quieter like Otaru.

Some public toilets, especially outside of the main cities are lacking in toilet paper. Whilst this isn't much of a problem for me personally, it can put you in a ditch if you do get caught short. TO counter this, there are some people dotted around areas handing out free towelettes. A lot of people just opt to carry a few sheets anyway. And in built up areas, there are a quite a

I had no quibbles with Seoul... I enjoyed it and there was plenty to do and see. The city itself was appealing too and maybe less "utilitarian" than some Japanese cities. The people were friendly in my experience and although a lot of the food wasn't for me, it was fun. Much the same for Busan except it was more... boring.
