I have been told by so many that when I visit Japan, I should check out their signages and stuff, cause they have the most interesting/unique/weirdest stuff. I took note of that and begin signage hunting.
While downloading all these pic for this entry, I was watching National Geography on Japan Tsunami. Sigh.... certainly brought back some memories as it happens 2 days after I depart Japan to Hong Kong; basically missing it by 2 days - LUCKY ME!. I will tell the story in the next entry.
OK, let's check out the few signages & stuff I manage to captured.
Japan most famous game - Pachinko! Pachinko (パチンコ ) is a Japanese gaming device used for amusement and gambling. A pachinko machine resembles a vertical pinball machine, but with no flippers and a large number of relatively small balls.
I find this interesting, in most part of the world that I have visited, one are NOT ALLOWED to eat in public transport vehicle, BUT for Japan its the opposite!!!! No loud cell phone sound, and in general NO loud speaking folks. I think the idea is that one are to respect the others' privacy.
Even for ciggy??? I heard slippers & disposable undies too but unable to locate.
Well, I guess I need to go visit the country again then. *wink wink*

I was quite surprise too when a friend told me that making a call in public transportation is rude provided Japan is well known for their technology. It's good they still being considerate and respectful to the passengers.
excellent post! I learnt a lot! Ice-selling machines I saw also in Europe, as far as I rememer in Germany at the airport. I love the idea of non-talking in public transport-I usually read so it would be good to do it in silence:)
What a purr-fect rocky combination cafe..great sharing tQ.
Some weird stuff here. In UK we have a quiet coach at one end of the train and Cardiff has a platform 0, no I didn't get that either. It looks like the two bears are smiling as the hand gets caught in the door !!
