Further Observations

not only do cars drive on the left side of the road, but foot traffic moves on the left side of stairs and the sidewalk.  this is still confusing me and i am often finding myself on the wrong side of wherever i am walking.

people are shorter in japan.  i am hitting my head on things.  i have to bend my knees to look at my face in mirrors.  i can see over everyone's head.  tall gaijin stick out.

there are a lack of trash bins on the street.  i end up carrying around paper and bottles all day in my backpack.  someone at the bar told me that this is because japanese don't eat or drink while walking around.  i guess i should pay attention.
