Sunday 5/9: More of a Lazy Weekend

Nothing particularly fascinating happened today, so once again Ill list some things I think Ive forgotten to mention

1. Im still getting used to cars on the opposite side of the road. Ive almost been run over a couple times because I was looking the wrong direction, and I still get disoriented when I dont see a driver... only to remember theyre on the other side of the car.

2. On my way to school in the mornings, I see people whose sole job is to stand next to the road with a sign, not waving it around or anything, just standing there. I found out that these people stand next to a road during rush hour with a sign saying that that lane is for buses only. I guess they need someone there to yell at people if they dont comply...hmmm

3. I heard that cell phones a couple years ago were really tiny here in Japan. nowadays theyre actually a little bigger than in America, always flip phones, and have jewelled stickers attached to them, and cell phone charms or mini stuffed animals hanging off of them. Even the badass teenage guy types have Stitch or anime stuffed animals on their cell phones and backpacks, which i think is really funny.
