This is caring to the max, giving people of all situations a way to serve the community

Take notes everybody: that's how you go on strike!

In Greece they would have cut the tree down 😔😔

This is just plain amazing. Rice to see them putting their artistic skills to the best.

That looks dreamy.

Those charts also show family relations, friendships, enemies, colleagues, classmates and what the characters think of each other. So while the text is too small for me to read, there’s probably also a whole lot of stuff like “hates because he stole her fish one time”.

That's really thoughtful. I commend the people who thought of this idea.

Who's cutting onions in here???

400 years of history: so this tree saw the rise of Japanese industrialization, the Meijing Dynasty, the war with China, both World Wars, and the rise of anime. Now that's crazy.

These should be more common worldwide. Just think about the amount of water it would save across the globe.

Geez Louise. Our hospital food is more like what prisoners get, which is already shameful. But seeing this just makes ours look like pig slurry.

Wonder how they came up with that idea.

Now that's great dedication and work. Hard hats of to you Japan.

In my old town it took a year and a half to build a roundabout

2?! DAYS?! But but but how?? Civil service apparently can function, at least in one place on the globe.

One day where I live I happened to see a public sidewalk being made. There were about 15 guys in the city crew but only about 5 guys were actually doing any work at any given time!

This would take two months in America. One guy works while the others just watch

America couldn't dream of doing something like this, it would take 6 months

Impressive. I don't know a lot about Japanese infrastructure so I hope that it wasn't done dodgily like some Asian areas.

The sinkhole was scary

Yeah that would take at least a year, or longer, to fix in the US

I'm thinkin' 3 months minimum in US if in summer, else 4-6 months in winter. . . and then, only if they could divert traffic for a 4 block radius.

I'm sure that's totally legit. In march 2020, we visited Japan. We went out to have curry and we saw roadworkers and machines by the road. After we finished with our curry the whole street got brand new asphalt. This country is comething else.

A city in my country, Surabaya, fixed similar sinkhole in three days. Not much different.

Takes half a year to fix a pothole here (if lucky). Omg.

2 days!!!!! it would take 2 months here in the states!!

These people do not mess around. They know how to get things done and what’s most important. They don’t have to spend their time waiting for bureaucrats to decide whose brother-in-law’s company will get the contract.

I'd say that would take about six months in the United States. Minimum.

Nope, not true...look at the picture. Its not even the same picture of the same timeframe.

We have so many potholes in Pennsylvania and they never get fixed

That's to fast to have it done correctly. Ours lasts a long time.

That is amazing ! The stupid highway outside my neighborhood has been under construction for two years , and they aren't even close to done . Although, it is providing a lot of jobs for construction workers

There are a couple sinkholes in my city -- not too close to me, fortunately -- that have been sitting unrepaired and ignored for years. Japan really knows how to put us to shame just by being efficient and conscientious....

WOW!

Our city can't fix a pothole in a week....

Send these workers to Montreal

In most U.S. cities, they couldn't do that in 2 months.

In South Africa that street would have been closed for a year while the politicians and contractors argued about the kick backs and hand outs . Then they would have skimped on the cement and would have cracked within months!

How did they do this? What dedication.

Meanwhile there is a highway here in Houston that has literally been under construction for 10 years….. it’s 12 miles long.

Meanwhile the rich and powerful USA has been fixing the i95 in Miami now for 17 years and still not finished!! No wonder we're sinking more and more down the list...pun intended... Pathetic!!!

Can you "repair" sinkholes? I though they just kept on growing down and outward!

In the US it would probably take two months, at least.

How?!!

Geez, here in america you are lucky if it takes over a month Lmao

HOW THO

they don't stop road work until it is done! 24-7 365!

…only in Japan…

So not infrastructure week? Infrastructure 48 Hours!

now if they could do that to dfw...

Grande Prairie could learn form this

I'm VERY curious whether they repaired the infrastructure below (cables, water lines, sewers) or somehow constructed a "roof" over the infrastructure to continue while they did further work below. I can imagine paving a road -- even with all the layers needed -- in two days. But repairing that infrastructure FIRST then paving the road all in 2 days? UPDATE: The street was functional again within two days, but temporary infrastructure was used because waiting for permanent replacements for damaged infrastructure would hold up repairing the street. What is shown is the street after 7 days. This is not to diminish the awesome work, but explain how. The street eventually subsided several inches, but this was considered within acceptable limits. This was a man-made disaster, caused by mistakes building a subway line below. Some work continued from below from the subway line.

It takes weeks to months to fix just a pothole in the States!
