things in japan / at my grandparent's house that really make you feel like you're in someplace other:
1// you can buy hot coffee and hot tea from a vending machine
2// you can buy normal food at convenience stores and have them heat it up for you- imagine buying a hot panini at CVS?
3// you take your shoes off to try on clothes in a dressing room, and are always given a face mask to try on clothes so you don't get makeup on it
4// you only heat portions of your house- the unheated hallway is used as a second refrigerator- imagine piles of tupperware full of perishable food, sitting in the hallway where you walk to go to yoru bedroom
5// you can see your breath indoors
6// you don't leave a tip anywhere, not at restaurants, not in cabs, not for a haircut
7// you only change the water in the bathrub (ofuro) every few days- it si used more as a hottub rather than a bathtub because you wash up before climbing in
8// bus drivers, salespeople, and anyone working in a service position has a very specific uniform. imagine a bus driver in medford wearing white driving gloves? i don't think so!
