Japanese Trash Rarer than a Big Foot Sighting!

Tje geisha tea house image with the poetic caption, "Drink this baby, it's atomic soda

It will blow your mind back to where it was" arrived from Marie. I also feel so honored to receive a piece of Japanese sign. Marie has always said how hard it is to find trash in Japan as it is so clean and regulated. This is a rare piece of a trash recycling chart explaining how to dispose of any and all trash. Thank you Marie for the thoughtful Envelope and the bits you included!

Thank you Diane! Garbage is taken very seriously here! But I'm sure in the end they mix up everything :-) You're right, I have never seen a Japanese woman smoke!! :-o

Yes indeed. I visited after my 1st yr in nyc and the intense cleanliness contrast truly amazed me! One thing I fnd esp. of note was that all the men smoked, and I mean all ['82]! - women were not supposed to smoke in public. [I will restrain myself from comment...] Aaanyway, there were ashtrays everywhere on the sidewalks, so no cigarette butts.
