The things I noticed/observed/love about Japan

First off - sorry for the delay in posting. I wrote this days ago but couldn't post in China due to their social media/internet restrictions. So here goes....

• It is so clean which is really surprising because I can never find any garbage cans.
• Everyone smokes yet you never see cigarette butts on the street.
• The toilet seats are heated….I love this! Who doesn't want a warm toilet seat?
• The girls are all thin (yet eat everything they want), have amazing skin, and are always fashionable. If I sound envious it’s because I am, especially since I’ve almost worn the same thing with no make-up for pretty much a week.
• There are vending machines with everything on each street corner – cigarettes, soda, beer, even clothing.
• The people are really friendly. And really well mannered.
• Fish that Americans would probably think is weird is usually a delicacy.
• There are TONS of patisseries all over…..the Japanese seem to really like dessert. :)
• There are tons of Ice Cream shops….they seem to love Ice Cream too!
• The Train Stations are really nice and always have great restaurants.
• It seems like a really safe place.
• Coffee and Tea is always really pricey….usually at least $5.
• Subways, trains, and buses are the best way to travel and are quite easy.
• Cafes always play great cheesy music like Ace of Base, Men at Work, Cyndi Lauper to name a few... Oh and Vanilla Ice too!!
• I love saying Japanese words - Kinnichiwa and Arigato - they just sound fun!
• Darsh really likes Suntory beer.
• I apparently really like Sake.

We both loved Japan and are sad to go. Arigato my Japan peeps!
