  • This is one of those neat factoids that isn’t entirely true.

    Japan does wash and refrigerate its eggs, just not all eggs and brands and groceries (it’s not a law).

    Most of the low salmonella incident rate comes from a higher inspection rate of egg producers and, here’s the fun one, a higher rate of raw egg ingestion, leading to faster report and response times for when there is contamination.


  • You really shouldn’t use sites like this for comparison as they’re not really adjusted for average expected living in any certain country.

    They’re for if you took your lifestyle from country A and tried to transplant it in country B.

    A good example is price per square foot for apartments etc. in Japan doesn’t really say anything about how the average living space is also much lower so you shouldn’t try and buy an American suburban house in Japan anyway.
