Our Review of the First Week

Hard to believe that the first week is already over! There are so many impressions and things that we saw and learned about a wholesome culture. Some things we had to learn, such as

• ordering food in restaurants at vending machines and not at the waiter
• vending machines for affordable food and snacks everywhere in every city
• pedestrain crossings sounding cuckoo-like sounds when it's time to pass
• heated toilet seats
• cities that are incredibly clean and that don't have any graffiti at all - really nowhere!
• cities without any wastebins! They just carry their garbage home and dispose of it there
• delicious Japanese breakfast
• delicious food in general (not surprised at all)
• everything here works somehow smoothly and kind of automatically, there's not much ado - but it works perfectly!

Sounds like a declaration of love? Yes, it is! 🥰🥰

And a somehow irritating thing we noticed: Gacha/Pachinko (gambling) parlors full of kids and grown-ups. You don't have to understand everything of a different culture...
