Japan vs. North America

Japan could learn a few things from North America and vice versa. For example, we should adopt Japan's bath tubs. Tubs in Japan are short and deep so you end up being almost entirely submerged. Plus, the water is constantly heated and circulated so it never gets cold. In Canada, I'm not much of a bath fan but in Japan I take one almost daily. The only problem, and this is where Japan should adopt something, is that there is no central heating in most Japanese homes. They use space heaters in each and every room they want to keep warm. Our house is freezing!
