15 Things, Again

Bla, I'm sick. I was up to late last night, I think, enjoying my new computer. Luckily no class today, so I'm just whiling away the hours at home. At some point I intend to study, but we'll see how that goes.

In the meantime, I've been working on this list on and off for a month now.

15 Odd Small Things

1. Vending machine flaps lift up, instead of pushing in.
2. Old people and ugly people appear on TV.
3. Boy bands are pretty much the same as in the West, except they dance in a more feminine way. Lots of hand motions. And hips.
4. Iced tea isn't sweet.
5. There are markers on the train station platforms for where the door of the train will be.
6. Imagine a roll of toilet paper. The sections of paper are a bit longer in Japan.
7. Keyboards are funny. The apostrophe key, for instance, is shift + 7.
8. Milk is 3.6%.
9. Eggs come in packs of 10.
10. You can buy alcohol at supermarkets. Or vending machines for that matter.
11. Vending machines in general are pretty weird. Alcohol, cigarettes and flowers are all a go. So are, apparently, used school-girl panties.
12. If you ever have money transferred into your account in Japan, the bank will call you, just to make sure you actually want more money.
13. Pop cans are smaller. They're also heavier. That's weird.
14. My pillow has a hole in it.
15. The toilets are funny, and have lots of buttons.
