Observations from Tokyo
- Japan drives on the left side of the street! And, boy, do they drive fast!
- You can buy anything and everything out of a vending machine
- Walk with a purpose in Toyko. The people walk briskly and collisions are eminent. No one loiters or visits on the street or in the subway stations.
- No eye contact. Japanese walk with their eyes always focused on the floor. (Although I witnessed a few eyes stray from the floor to look at us, silly Americans looking like lost little puppies.)
- You can smoke in any restaurant, but it is not allowed on the street...
- The Japanese are all about comfort when it comes to the bathroom. The first time using the toilet in my hotel room was an experience. I sat down on the toilet and quickly jumped back up with surprise. The toilet seat was heated! And a heated bum came as quite a surprise. The bathroom is also equipped with a heated mirror that does not fog over while you are using the shower!
