The subject was essentially how culture, more than any other factor, is responsible for the lower class' generational perpetuity. ( lol, this got started cause he, a tourist, had been overwhelmed that day observing people at the flea market. I, having just finished the fair season, explained my fill of this type of experience, and how I've been selling a magic trick to this class in that type of environment for 10 years now. ha.) Anyway, escalator etiquette, I chalk up to being a reflection of a culture's or society's measure of social organization - social capital. High social capital explains Japan's success, given it has essentially zero resource capital. Yet if this is true, what the heck went wrong with or explains the French Canadians?! Ha.

But in Osaka, the second largest city, you stand on the right. Thus when my Tokyo friends come to visit me I must always correct them on the escalator. Thanks for the reminder on anchor text...
