I think Canada is a definitely safe
country.
In my experience, the people are very
polite. For example, I left my water bottle on TTC, but I was able to get it
back from the service counter at a station immediately afterwards. I visited Cambodia and The Philippines 3
months ago, and I feel much more comfortable here.
However, I realize it's a little worse than Japan's situation occasionally.
For example, my host family told me that if
I hear the house bell ringing, I shouldn't answer it could be a robber
pretending to be a salesperson or other trustworthy person.
Japanese public security is quite good, and
it's sometimes said to be the best, but it has become worse in the past 20
years. I think it entirely depend on the area, but when I was child, we never
used a lock on the front door during the day. I wonder if my parents used to lock the front door at night. I can't remember. At that time, locked doors meant the entire family
went on a trip.
The first time I locked the door was in junior
high school. It was Saturday, no one was home, but I got into house through another
unlocked door. Nowadays I lock the door before I go to bed.
Thanks, garlogan
