Quirky Things About Japan

Random things I've noticed about Japan so far...
  1. Bathrooms have bidets, but you can use them like regular Western toilets...so don't be scared.  I used one at the mall across the street and the seat was heated. That was nice.
  2. Beds are super hard.  
  3. Everything looks pretty old (built in 1960s-1970s), but is super clean and well maintained.
  4. All employees have uniforms.
  5. It's impossible to find a garbage can or a drinking fountain.  Despite this...people don't litter.
  6. Bathrooms are super kid-friendly.
  7. Dennys in Japan is not the same as Dennys in the USA, but I survived. (The french toast were good, but they didn't even serve apple juice for breakfast.)
  8. Haven't been able to find Sprite or Root Beer anywhere, only Cola.  Luckily Grape Fanta is at McDonalds. :)  Speaking of which, McDonalds put my soda in a paper bag.
  9. Everywhere we've been feels very safe.  Felt totally fine wandering around by myself.
  10. The bullet train seats were WAY more comfortable than our airplane seats.
  11. Every store tapes your bag closed for you when you buy something.
  12. I swear most of the girls wandering around could be models.
  13. Tip and taxes are included in your bill, so no need to calculate everything afterwards.
  14. Sausage tastes like a hotdog, and the bacon needs to be cooked longer.
That's it for now.  I'm sure I'll think of more things. :)
