peacefulness in your day to day life

Social pressure is so intense that people rather kill themselves than do anything out of the ordinary... Do not confuse conformity with peace.

Not in my experience there. It the only place I have ever been where you can be in a gas station/ convenience store late on a Saturday night in a less than flash area, and see a guy rock up dressed like Liberace and do his shopping and flounce off without anyone even batting an eyelid let alone commenting. You wouldnt try that here. Yes, there is a degree of conformity enforced there around behaviour by social pressure, but in other places it is by violence

So they are too stiff to even make comments ;-)

You would have such freedom here in my region as well.
