Inside.

The eating places are rather crowded. This is at Tokyo.

Japanese in action

In Japan you can still find people wearing traditional kimono, especially in the more 'older' cities like Kyoto.
I'm surprised how common it is to see people cycling around Tokyo.


At a temple at Tokyo. People dress up to go to temple. Then again Japanese dress up wherever they go. Their dress sense put Singaporeans to shame. Then again too much hustle?!?!

Zen!
Tranquility amidst chaos.

'Uniquely' Japan

Somethings unusual things you can find in Japan:

Traffic light: If Singaporean thinks that Jurong East& West Ave 1 has the most traffic light. Think again. This is taken at a shopping district at Ginza, Tokyo.

Cigarettes dispenser: Hmm I wonder how do they restrict the under 18 from buying cigarettes. Maybe in the first place they don't worry much about health problem associated with smoking; the Japanese are well known to have long lives.


Auto buttocks washer. Heard this is invented by the Sumo wrestlers' assistant - The sumo wrestlers are too 'f_t' to clean their butt, so every time they shit, their assistants have to clean them. So ...
Recycling Bins. Recycling bins maybe common in most places. But the Japanese really brings recycling to the next level. These are found almost everywhere. Japanese are very environmentally conscious.


Detect in fridge. This is found in some hotel fridges. If you take out bottles, you've to pay regardless you drink them or not, we are warned. Hmm, not easy reading the labels of the bottles.
