In the Japanese city of Fukuoka a huge sinkhole appeared at a busy intersection.  It measured 98 feet wide and 50 feet deep.  The mayor apologized for the hole to the people even though he had nothing to do with it other than it appeared in his city.  

Japanese crews’ working day and night repaired the huge sinkhole within seven day.  The Japanese worker has a sense of pride in their work and a strong sense of serving the community.

Now image if such a sinkhole appeared in Manhattan.  Mayor de Blasio would not have apologized and most likely blamed someone perhaps former President Bush.

It would take years for such a sinkhole in New York City to repair.  There would have to be environmental impact studies, squabbling among the many unions.  Then environmentalist would claim a worm discovered in the hole is on the endangered species list, thus halting all repair work.  

That is why it is easy to love Japan.
