186. Public phones with distinctive green colour and shape are much more pervasive than I’d expect. (I am not sure what the gray ISDN phone is about! But I didn’t see those that often anyway.)pic.twitter.com/m21fShzt5R

187. More tech survivors: I was surprisingly thrilled to be in a car that had a MiniDisc player! (Also, it was fun to spot one button with kanji amidst icons and all the Latin.)pic.twitter.com/2imxJcmRbZ

The last one was in this tiny underground store whose branding and 18+ label got me worried!pic.twitter.com/HmUImt9N1W
But it was just a retro computing and gaming store with a slice of parallel home computing history I really wish I knew better.pic.twitter.com/NM976DXB4R

189. If trash is not subdivided even further (see the android trash cans before), it’s typically split between “combustibles” (red) and “incombustibles” (blue). (Good thing they didn’t go with “flammable” and “inflammable,” I guess? Har har.)pic.twitter.com/Ml0kRvceGb
190. The same colour scheme is often used for restrooms, but there is no relation. By the way, restrooms are everywhere! Malls, tiny convenience stores, minuscule train stations. EVERYWHERE. They are free and clean. It’s REALLY glorious.pic.twitter.com/HpcHyKnN1E
191. All the maps seem to always be facing your orientation, instead of up = north.pic.twitter.com/q5n8iEcSlB
The maps would be useless if they weren't facing the proper direction (ie: north always at the top no matter which way it really is)!
The way they are (the logical way), if it shows the train station to the left, for example, then that's where it is in reality! What difference does it make if that direction is north or south?
