- The Japanese people are very polite and they all take great pride in their jobs. I've never seen a happier McDonald's staff.
- McDonald's is Super popular here. The line is often out the door at lunch time.
- Japanese businessmen always wear suits. I haven't seen anyone headed to work whering anything more casual.
- Trash cans are hard to find out in public, but the streets are squeaky clean.
- They drive on the left side of the road here. (first country I've been to like that)
- Taxis have their side mirrors mounted on the hood of their cars about half way up.
- Clear plastic umbrellas are as common as the little black ones are in the US
- When it is raining, every shop puts out a rack to hold your wet umbrella.
- It appears that AT&T has a monopoly on wifi service here. Very hard to find free access.
- Cash is the main form of payment here. very few restaurant accept credit cards (and those that do try to discourage it)
- I have a nice 1yen (equivalent to our penny) coin collection going.
- They use the metric system even though their native measurement system more closely resembles the US system.
- Western music is very popular. our hotel has been playing Disney themes in the lobby and I've heard american pop music being sung on street corners.
- Melon flavored Fanta Soda tastes more like bubblegum. I think I'll stick with orange
