I traveled to Japan and Vietnam last year. I got far faster Internet speeds in Vietnam. Sometimes double or triple the speed.
Interesting. Where in Japan and where in Vietnam? And when in Vietnam was it via Vintel [EDIT: Viettel - doh I need my noon coffee]?
Vintel, yes. I also noticed free wifi at restaurant and cafes were much faster in Vietnam as well.
Lived in Japan. I think world will come to realize that Japan's past is also the world's future.
California & San Francisco: All of their problems are foreshadowing what is going to happen in other parts of the US; all of their strengths are also coming to other places.
Even within San Francisco, is Valencia St the future or past of tony Chestnut St?
When you think about bad shit happening, and then how we only seem capable of reactive, rather than proactive politics, seems obvious. Problems have to become catastrophic before anyone deals with them, and all the problems left are the ones are small, but growing.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Japan: Tokyo Vietnam: Ho Chi Minh city Vintel, yes. I also noticed free wifi at restaurant and cafes were much faster in Vietnam as well.
D1 and D3?
And yea Vintel [EDIT: Viettel - doh I need my noon coffee] makes sense - they're the military monopoly on telecom in Vietnam.
Vintel was always slow for me, but they were also trying to MITM and my setup was always evading that.
Who was your mobile operator in Japan?

throwing foreign people into a country without them adaption the culture is not reviving that country but changing it which on a longer time scale is the same as that country (read culture) dying. nobody would claim old empire are still alive because on there rubble a country stands today.

Agreed. Japan's "lost decade" started 10-20 years before the rest of many Western (e.g. United States) and non-Western nations (e.g. People's Republic of China, Republic of Korea, etc).
The biggest difference was the US was able to leverage white collar immigration to develop a substantial lead in the computing industry by the mid-90s.
SK is probably going to hit a similar bust like Japan's soon (they're basically following the same cycle as Japan except with a 25-30 years lag)
