62. In addition to 2+ writing systems, each subway station in Tokyo also has a letter+number identifier, e.g. E09. Also, I liked the convention “grayed out text = stations already visited.” It helped me once I got it. Does it mean each line is always shown in the same order?pic.twitter.com/tpUchRfwb8

63. I didn’t know I had so many feelings for vending machines until I started seeing dozens of them outside, exposed to elements. (Which explains the money cover above.) Also, vending machines don’t seem to be gross here! Which is becoming kind of an overall theme.pic.twitter.com/iVDps94mxs

66. After a few readers told me red labels mean “hot” and blue “cold,” I had my first hot coffee in a can, from a vending machine. It was good! Plus, it arrived within a second of pressing the button.pic.twitter.com/rjkxbrPydM

67. One-bit train arrival indicator. (Unless it’s zero-bit, always lit up to brag how often trains run here.)pic.twitter.com/tU8FIqtrPi

68. The circle of life is universal, I suppose? (I read this top to bottom: Friends abandon you when you have a kid, your kids grow up, eventually you die and they take over.)pic.twitter.com/9IGNZJVV5Q

Replying to @mwichary
I've really enjoyed this thread! Not sure if you did this one yet, but every train station has its own little melody when you arrive. http://blogs.timeout.jp/en/2015/03/25/train-melodies/ …
