134. One of my hotels (but only one) offered me a Smoke Guard and that made me worried more than anything else.pic.twitter.com/ofWym4wJx3
135. It wasn’t long after I got enough courage to try Oscillate when another restroom moved me up to face the next level’s final boss: Pulsate.pic.twitter.com/pYSrnuVIk8
136. But the one thing I *really* did not expect to find next to a toilet was… volume controls.pic.twitter.com/Pk3Ug8BoDp
137. Vending machines are truly ubiquitous, at 5½ million total (for 127M people). When I was biking through some rural areas near Hiroshima, I was astonished not just that they were there – but that I saw one every few minutes.pic.twitter.com/75FCTW6L6T
(But contrary to all the lore, outside of some cigarette machines, pretty much all that I saw were machines with liquids: cold and hot drinks. No vending machines with candy or weird stuff, unless they’re hiding somewhere I’m not looking?)pic.twitter.com/NoYJW07tQT
138. Getting the machine to give you back (the rest of) your money is such a fun great interaction on some of the models. First of all, there’s a big yellow lever to pull…pic.twitter.com/aU0hDlp4PP
Then, the machine counts down the money it owes you one coin at a time, which is REALLY satisfying. (Here, I put in 1,000¥ and ordered something worth 130¥.)pic.twitter.com/lfrV3IRVGr
Lastly, your change gets spat out at the very bottom, close to the ground, next to the delivered item. (Although I can’t decide whether that’s good. On one hand, it’s easy to grab with whatever you ordered – but also sometimes I forgot, and I had to reach further down again.)
139. This vending machine had a bottle opener and a little bucket for caps. It also had… mystery items! I saw that in other machines in that town, too. The last photo is what I got, because of course I had to try it out.pic.twitter.com/kgNl45vaRj
We went to Shinjunku park yesterday and one vending machine had free wifi. Japan is amazing. Shame we're leaving tomorrow after 2 weeks here.
I’m leaving Wednesday after two weeks here, and I feel the same!
We're off to the train museum today just spotted a Music box museum on the Mitaka city map near our airbnb. Mark that one for next time.
