209. There’s a lot more smoking here. Smoking alcoves, smoking sections at the restaurants and on trains. (I once tried to sit in one as an experiment… I lasted a whole 3 minutes.)pic.twitter.com/Q7FiZtFdAF
210. But people wearing face masks – and a lot of people do, including cops in cars and postal office clerks in their windows – apparently has nothing to do with smoking.
As someone explained to me, it’s a) not wanting to make other people sick, b) not wanting to get sick yourself, c) some sort of worry about pollens from China!?
211. There is a lot of free wi-fi around: on many subway stations, in restaurants, in shopping malls. It’s also always pretty fast. Some wi-fi comes with fun signs.pic.twitter.com/KCNoYnBOdY
There were always (legally-mandated?) interstitials, and some of the UI and security choices were… interesting. Or, to me, incomprehensible.pic.twitter.com/4wtRTWXHr6

213. During rain and snow, I saw tons of umbrellas and – despite what the second image might tell you – most of them were just what Blade Runner promised: transparent. (Third image: Me under my transparent umbrella I brought with me to the U.S.)pic.twitter.com/AEWS3sya54
I mean, the clear plastic umbrellas are so cheap they are practically disposable. I found them useful in a crowded city because you could see where you were going while hunkered under one. But I also owned a fancy one for when I wanted to use something nicer.
I bought a clear one with the Kyoto railway museum logo and that’s the fancy one for me. :·)
