We like seeing the differences between two countries and funny things about being in a different country. Here are a couple things we got a kick out of:
They have toilets that are in the ground (this is the women's restroom)
And then they have toilets that are so complicated, you need instructions on how to use them. This particular toilet was heated :), included a bidet, and and air blower thingy. This might have also included a complimentary "flushing noise" to cover any real noise you might be making.
You want to buy cigarrets, no problem! You can buy them on just about any street corner.

But you can also buy yummy drinks on almost any street corner or at some random spot. The Japanese sure do like their green tea.
If they sell a soft drink, it's usually Coke or Diet Coke
The coke cans were outside the glass if you can tell. For some reason they wanted us to touch & feel (Rick is touching in the picture above) but we have no idea why they wanted us to touch--it's not like we were scratching & sniffing.
They pump gas from the ceilings. I guess that way it doesn't matter which side of the pump you're on.
Pump up-close
They have green tea kit kats! Get out! I told you the Japanese really like their green tea.
See green tea

Were the green tea kit kats good?
That is what I love about visiting places is all the new and different things.
That kit kat looks disgusting.
Rick loved the green tea kit kats. He thought they tasted like white chocolate. I thought they were ok, I prefer the regular kit kats though.
I love this post! There are a lot of things like that here in Korea. When I first got here I thought they were crazy , but I didn't really record them or take a picture so now it all seems like old news. It was fun to remeber, "Oh, yeah! Not everyone suqats when they pee!" By the way, have you noticed the "courtesy bell" here in the restrooms? Doesn't the sound of the bell let everyone know you are making sounds you would rather they not hear?
