Differences

Japan is obviously different from America. Some differences are more apparent than others. In a way, many things seem completely opposite to how things are in the USA.

1) People drive on the opposite side of the ride on the opposite side of the car
2) Magazines and books flip the other way
3) The standard drink is tea, not water
4) Great care has been taken to make every morsel of food
5) There are no trashcans and yet no litter! (sorry coonie, still looking)
6) There's no trash anywhere because nobody wants to be the first douche bag in Japan to litter
7) The address here don't make any sense and house numbers are often based on when a building or an entire area was erected, street numbers are based on the history of the area and therefore have no logical order, the only way to get around is to simply know where things are, and streets don't really have names sometimes, you might find the name of an intersection sometimes, if you're lucky
