(Despite best efforts of new hotel translators and three different iPhone apps, my room momentarily became sauna. But I actually really, really like trying to figure the Japanese language out on my own!)pic.twitter.com/xiLEoVz96l
76. Walking up the stairs is good for you!pic.twitter.com/zBGp4uUDzN
77. An interesting way to wrap a magazine to prevent you from reading it in a store! And yes, this does appear to be a magazine about spreadsheets?pic.twitter.com/JYbzonzMvl
78. It seems that construction sites are supposed to tell you ahead about their work schedule for the week? Some of those displays are even electronic! (I drew the complicated one on my trackpad. It says 解体工事: demolition work. February 4 is Sunday = no construction.)pic.twitter.com/aVUnNHaP2a
79. I liked this little drawing on the door in between subway cars. (And infinite bendy subway cars where you can move in between without the fear of falling off the train.)pic.twitter.com/Hl2e3IBcDy
80. Water fountains in subway stations! (Fun moment elsewhere: A nice lady tried to help me when lost, and I said “subway” and then tried to visualize it with my arm going underground, after which she asks “metro?” and I’m like “I’m European! Why on earth didn’t I say that?!”)pic.twitter.com/YLWH4lQy9R
81. The subway very often tells you how far things are, exactly.pic.twitter.com/fLCFv540eD
82. This anthropomorphized, walking, smoking forbidden sign (with dead eyes) is lovely, and also conceptually really confusing, and also I hope it gets its own TV show.pic.twitter.com/HcTnpoR9aI
It means exactly what you think. Don’t walk and smoke at the same time. 
Ha! Really did not see this coming.
When you walk and smoke, you’re more likely to burn somebody, especially in crowded areas. That’s why there are smoking areas outside most train stations. The government owns the cigarette companies here so tons of people smoke. It’s one of the few downsides of living in Japan.
