  1. I hope that Jakarta will get a lot of metro lines.

  2. There are often bike lanes along the rivers in the country sides and also in Kyoto. Cycling is fun and very possible in Japan (I really like it) but it is not as well developed as in the Netherlands. When the area is mountainous I usually rent an electric bicycle.

  3. Taiwan is clean but Japan is much cleaner.

  5. Japan (and Tokyo) have very low crime statistics. There is plenty of English signage at train/metro stations. Some restaurants have plastic models of the food and some have an English menu but not all. In Tokyo there is usually someone around who speaks English, in smaller places it can be a bit more difficult. The Japanese however are always willing to help. Taxi is expensive but train and metro are excellent. Buying a pasmo/suica card makes using public transport much easier. You can buy a Lonely Planet/Rough Guide book and these books explains almost everything that you need to know and also tell about Japanese culture and history.
