I just went to grab a bite to eat before I leave for the airport in a couple hours for Hong Kong and realized I forgot another tidbit about Tokyo, Japan. I have talked about the cleanliness and the politeness of the Japanese.
I have to tell you this one grabbed my attention as we arrived a couple nights ago AND will attatch a couple pictures in the next 24 hours about this. BUT, do you know that even the construction sites are kept very neat and clean. The construction site is lit up by "lighted" cones at night with flower beds around them. Can you believe it? The construction sites in downtown Tokyo have lighted traffic cones with flower beds surrounding them. Amazing.
The people are also very polite and law abiding. You know how in the States at an intersection when people are waiting to cross the street at a light they "may" wait for the "WALK" sign before they cross the street, but mostly just walk whenever they want? Well, here in Tokyo, at least, they all wait for the light to change, even if no one is coming. There are a lot of business men dressed in their suits who ride old bicycles as well to get around town.
Oh well, just wanted to drop these few comments and will post some pictures of the construction sights with flower beds. Pretty Cool.
Sayonara for now from the Land of the Rising Sun!
