Everything Here Is Done FAST!!

In the big cities of Japan most everything is done at a record pace. Everyone seems to be in a huge hurry all the time. People often run through the subways, workers from 7//11s to ticket bookers do their work extremely fast. The train company employees fly through their keyboards as they book in your information for seats etc, Everything seems built for dizzying speed and efficiently. Working at that level everyday of your life must be extremely exhausting for the worker. It is like all the people in the big Japanese cities are running at a record players 45 speed not at the regular LP 33 speed. Everything seems to be moving faster than it should be.

I would like to spend some time in rural Japan to see if things slow down there. It would be interesting to the contrast, if there is one.
