Lost In Translation Tidbit : Interestingness

Just a quick post on some of the things I have found amusing / confusing / interesting here:

• People don't touch. Very seldom do they come in contact.
• Unspoken organisation at the train station. Instant orderly lines.
• Cold coffee everywhere. Heaps of it, especially in vending machines.
• Milk is hard to find.
• HEAPS of manga. It's everywhere, TV, Advertising, Noticeboards, Warnings: everything
• Shops are inside out. I have only found one shopping mall that had enclosed shops. Everything is on the outside of buildings, out to the street, or in massive tall buildings with multiple floors as one store. Never a bunch of stores under one roof.
• No pubs. Everything is small tiny bars or restaurants.
• People wait for everything. Almost every restaurant has a line of chairs out the front for waiting on.
• No graffiti. I am keeping my eye out for some cool graffiti but so far nothing.

More tidbits soon...
