Construction in Japan

As many of you living in Japan may know, there is always something new that's being built and it's usually refurbishment work or a piece of property that's being replaced with another, having said this there are still a few old fashioned  restaurants and things of that nature remaining in Tokyo but these gems are becoming harder to find as the city continues its' infrastructural evolution. Most of the construction is actually focused on road work where any small decay or imperfection is promptly resurfaced, I have to say that I am a fan of this as I used to do a bit of longboarding here and found many of the roads very smooth to skate on and these smooth roads are very Mama-Chari friendly too! But I had to first skate over the rough pavements in London to really appreciate the smoothness. Things are done more efficiently all the time in Japan and I guess it's human nature to progress in that manner, however, we humans know that there is no such thing as perfection so where is this all leading...? We get to see ants go about their daily life and we are privileged to have a bird's eye view, some of them involved in construction, others gathering food and there may be a few of them fighting amongst each other and of course there's the queen ant! Nobody pays any great attention to construction in Japan because of how common it is.
