A couple of interesting facts:
Trucks in Japan do not have “smokestacks”, the exhaust is fed out the bottom of the truck and floats around in the air low to the ground. As a full-time pedestrian, I noticed this quite quickly.
The upside of being a full-time pedestrian is that I don’t have to worry about drinking and driving. The biggest consideration you have to worry about when you go out is that you catch the last train, and failing that, have the cash for a taxi ride home.
One great thing about living in Japan is that it is easy to find great Japanese restaurants. They are everywhere. In California, the search is a lot more difficult.
Meat doesn’t really need to be refrigerated THAT much.
