1. Can you be more specific? “West” is pretty diverse. Osaka seems fairly relaxed. Ishikawa has a lot of companies with a more, um…, shall we say, “traditional” work culture, but also several that are young and forward thinking.

2. The side of the escalator you walk versus stand on XD

3. There is a place. Their belongs to them. They’re is they are.

4. Eastern electric grid uses 50Hz, west uses 60Hz. I think that’s kind of weird, in this day and age.

5. Frequency of alternating current.

   50 Hz is adopted in eastern and 60 Hz in western.

6. There are regional differences beyond just East and West, so it depends on exactly where you’re going.

7. People are warmer and friendlier in some ways the further west you go Osaka is just the start. That being said there are enough idiosyncrasies to make it hard to make sweeping statements beyond that
