I've known a few Japanese out here in Oz, and been impressed by ALL of them. All polite, all pleasant to be around.
One of my strongest impressions is from a quiet Japanese girl I knew when I was at university. The college I was living in would close down for a couple of months over the Christmas break. That summer I moved across the road to stay with my then girlfriend. When I was moving back in at the end of the break, I spent several hours carrying huge boxes of books and stuff across to my college room. On the way, a few people said hi, how's it going, that sort of thing. Only one offered to help, and as far as I am aware, her offer was serious. This quiet, petite girl, probably not a snowflake's chance in Hell of even being able to lift one of these boxes - and she was the only person who asked if I needed a hand.
The world can do with a few more souls that shine that brightly.
