Toilets in Japan are deluxe.

There are seat warmers, noise covers (makes sounds of water running and birds chirping while you are using the bathroom) and of course, a spray for cleaning your posterior.

A handkerchief is a must carry. 

You cannot leave the house without a handkerchief. If you are to use a bathroom outside of your house, you must bring a handkerchief to wipe your hands after washing. There is no such thing as paper towels in bathrooms.

What side of the escalator you stand on is important.

In Tokyo, you stand on the left side of the escalator. The right side is used for passing. 

In Osaka, you stand on the right side of the escalator. The left side is used for passing. 

The next time you use the escalator, what side do you stand on?

Thinking about starting a corner dedicated to things that made me go WTF (in a good and/or bad way) in Japan. Basically, it’s going to be about things I experienced here in Japan which I never expected and turned out to be funny, pleasant or just awful. 

I figure this will be useful to people who are planning to come to Japan for the first time and have no idea what to expect. But also, I think this will be (hopefully) entertaining to those who have been in Japan for a while. 

I have no idea what I’m planning on calling this corner.. Maybe WTF Japan? lol. So not original, but that’s all I can think of. 

If there are any thoughts on this, please let me know! Anything is fine. :D 

This week was pretty uneventful.
