Forgot to post this up.
1. Wonder how many hats Japanese women have and how many suits the men own? The women all wear hats everywhere - wonder as a fashion statement or because they are genuinely protecting themselves against UV rays. Probably both. Men all seem to wear suits to work. Oh and they all wear socks or stockings. I hardly saw anyone wearing shoes without socks or stockings. Maybe in summer they don't?
2. Some trains have pull down blinds. Interesting. Overhead racks for your stuff is also very handy (till u forget to take it down that is).
3. There are absolutely no noisy ringtones on the train! Everybody observes the sign that says switch off (to silent) your mobile phones. And no one obnoxiously talking loudly on the phone. I was at the hospital in Singapore the other day and this guy had a really loud 'ringtone' for his sms. Everytime he got an sms the phone would loudly 'announce' Excuse Me Boss, you have a message! It was funny at first, but the more messages he got the more annoying it became.
4. I love how it's ok to wear knee high black tights with candy pink shoes. I love how you can wear whatever you want without everyone giving you a weird look.
5. At Disneyland, ppl don't sit on railings while waiting for rides. There were also no pushing and shoving and cutting of lines. How civilised!
6. I love how there's a section on the bathroom mirror right where your shoulder to your head would be, that doesn't fog up after a steamy shower. How considerate of the hotels. I wonder if in private homes whether it's the same?
7. Rubbish bins are very lacking in Tokyo. Do ppl just bring their rubbish home with them or something? We'd walk around for an hour with rubbish and we'd still not spot any rubbish bins to throw our rubbish into (at some places)
