Things about Japan


-There is nowhere to sit, people are too busy and fast moving to sit.
-Tons of people wear masks to keep out germs but there is no soap in bathrooms and they drink from community cups.
-People are very polite, except on the subway and trains where they push and walk into you.
-All the ladies wear high heels and walk all over town in them.
-The city is very clean but there are no garbage cans anywhere.
-Restaurants don’t have napkins; sometimes they have a tissue instead.
-Some toilets make babbling brook sounds while you are going.
-It’s not polite to eat or drink while on the go, no one walks around with soda or drinks.
-Everyone owns an umbrella, the really long kind that you hook over your elbow.  It rains a lot.
-Most everyone is skinny.  Not many overweight people.  I think I saw 3 chubby people.
-Some Japanese girl told us to make sure and use our umbrella because the rain is radioactive.  I don’t think an umbrella is really going to help all that much if that is true.
-Sometimes the subway trains are so crowded you just have to push your way in and hope the doors don’t pinch your butt when they close.
-They have the best pastry shops I’ve ever eaten at (besides France).
-There is only delicious food in Japan.

Seriously I have been reading your posts every day. I LOVE THEM! I am so glad you are having a good time and I am so excited for you to meet Daisy. I love all of your little details and have laughed so hard! By the way, THANK YOU for all that you donated to the yard sale! I can't believe how much Steve brought over. It will be great. Be safe out there! And by the way, you're not a clumsy fatty even thought the Japanese make you feel that way. Just come back to America where we're all fatties and you will be feeling much better.
