At
Narita airport, I had my first delightful discovery - baggage
carts can be taken onto the escalators! |
The
shinkansen bullet trains connect major cities in Japan at
fast speeds |
With
space at a premium, parking garages save space by stacking
cars vertically (3 high here) |
Vending
machines facilitate ordering and payment at many fast food
joints - just give the coupon to the server |
All
fruits seem to be the finest (and expensive!) specimens -
large, perfect, and often protected by styrofoam |
Canteloupes
seem to have become more an art form than fruit. They typically
sell for $10-$100 each! |
Cell
phones are ubiquitous, and I was quite envious of the advanced
features we don't yet have in the US |
Vending
machines can be found all over, selling just about everything. |
Even
the toilet in our hotel was electronic, with a built in bidet
and who knows what else |
