9/1 is the day for everyone to do evacuation drill and was large-scale one. I think this sort (very large scale) of training is not around in the world other than japan. Know-how would contribute to any place around the world.

i believe it is sudoku. i can find sudoku books and hand held games everywhere. they even sell sudoku hand held game pink for breast cancer. books are sold in the dollar store and it is a gulity pleasure.
I didn't know sudoku when I was living in Japan. From the first day I went back to Europe, I found sudoku magazines everywhere (airport, newsagents, supermarkets...). I wonder why that is that sudoku is so much more popular in Western countries (apparently in the States too, as that is where you live) than in Japan. It's become so popular in the last few years that many regular magazines (TV programmes, news, women's magazines) have their sudoku page, in addition that the numerous sudoku books and mags that have sprung up like mushrooms.

I don't see the point to have earthquake prevention training in countries or regions where there are no earthquakes (e.g. all Europe but Greece, the South of Italy and the South of Spain). If you are talking about fire evacuation training, I do not know any school that doesn't have it (although not on the same day for all schools nationwide as there wouldn't be enough firefighters to supervise and explain).
