Lost in Tokyo (II)
diegolego, 02:29h
It seems like the SARS-masks are used because many people suffer from a certain type of allergy which is caused by pollen, specially in spring. Therefore, the thoughts of my last entry were a little bit exaggerated.
We found a funny restaurant, where one first buys a coupon at a vending machine, gives it to the employee who then hands over the dish. It is rather cheap and the food is ok, only a bit fast-food style. The second time I went there, I was even able to use the vending machine on my own.
For lunch we get funny lunch boxes. Usually it includes (among others) two rice balls which look like over-sized sushi-rolls. Since the boxes themselves are made of plastic, they are collected for recycling. In general people here seem to be aware of ecological issues.
In the last entry I had also mentioned, how clean the city is. The paradoxon however is that there are very few trash bins. One really has to search them.
I also found out that my Japanese is worse than my Chinese. Nevertheless, probably I will never learn any of both.
