Things Japan gets right

They do so much so right. Japan is winning.  Here are a few of my favorite things:
  1. The children are incredibly well behaved. 
  2. The hotels give you lots of cool stuff like shaving cream and toothbrushes.  
  3. The hotels understand that using hotel washcloths is gross so they give you individually sealed body sponges! And a new one every day
  4. Restaurants give you baskets to put your purse or backpack in so they don’t have touch the floor!!!
  5. Trains!!!
  6. People are quiet on the trains and you cannot make phone calls on a train!
  7. Food and customer service 
  8. Cars and electronics 
  9. Fish for breakfast, lunch and dinner
  10. Heavily prunes trees and bushes!
