For Canada, it's half half. there are such lovely people but there are incredibly greedy jerks too. I've seem kind acts, but one time I was walking home and there was 20 dollars on the sidewalk. I literally stopped because it was between my legs when I saw it. I looked around to see if anyone standing by had dropped it, and I slowly bent over to pick it up. But this guy (a student, early 20's, caucasian just for a random description), started RUNNING toward my shoes. He was too late though as I had it in my hand by the time he got to me, and he just want "awwww" in this sarcastic tone and walked by. How desperate are these people for money? We were standing in front of a row of houses, what if a kid had dropped it? It makes me sick sometimes. I actually walked up a lady standing nearby and she just said "nope I didn't see anybody drop it, it's yours now." Keep up the posting man. If I ever end up in Japan, let's do lunch. -Kevin.

For Canada, it’s half half. there are such lovely people but there are incredibly greedy jerks too. I’ve seem kind acts, but one time I was walking home and there was 20 dollars on the sidewalk. I literally stopped because it was between my legs when I saw it. I looked around to see if anyone standing by had dropped it, and I slowly bent over to pick it up. But this guy (a student, early 20′s, caucasian just for a random description), started RUNNING toward my shoes.

I went to a Konbini ATM and withdrew 20,000en, however in my slightly intoxicated state, I forgot to take the money from the ATM. After walking for about 20 minutes, I realised, and sprinted back. Apparently the ATMs have a feature where if the money isn't taken fast enough, it will be automatically 'sucked' back in. I told my story to the guy behind the counter, he made a quick call to SMBC, I verified my ID with him, and the 20,000 was credited to my account. I guess the point here was that there was 20,000en sitting in an ATM, and no one took it.... Gotta LOVE Japan :) I had a similar thing happen to me once, in Saitama.

That's #1 in my book. I sure am glad that the people in Japan are like that. When I worked for Walmart as a Customer Service Supervisor, you wouldn't believe the amount of phones,ipods, wallets and money that people would loose, also many many credit cards and other assorted identification forms. It was amazing that you got yours back. Gotta keep closer track of what you have in your pockets and what you are carrying, it's easy to get distracted. This conbini looks like a perfect place for the next conbini monday post, what do you think? RT @Shibuya246: Japanese Honesty, Japan Conbini | Shibuya246 http://bt.io/RVk

I forgot my camera in a Zipcar here in NY and no one returned it to me and I lost an iPod when I parked my car in a garage.... But I got my whole bag back in Tokyo after I left it in a restroom which had my wallet, my passport and my Shinkansen ticket in it! The most amazing thing was that it seemed no one "dare" to use the restroom which I left my bag on the hook! Girls waiting on line were happy to see me get my bag so they had one more room to use. I didn't realized how honest people are in Japan until I moved to NY, and now I miss it very much! Lucky you!
