This post follows no order of any sort. Sorry about that. Just decided to write on random observations before I forget about them.
Apparently Japan's toothbrush companies are only looking at the size of Japanese people's private parts when they decided how big to make their tooth brushes. Imagine what a child size toothbrush looks like, and that is the size that Japan's adult uses to brush with. I like what I consider normal sized toothbrushes, but not sure I can draw the rest out until I go back to the US to visit.
Not sure I talked about this before, if I did, then it's just that amazing to me that I have to talk about it again. Except for maybe 1 or 2 roads in my city, the speed limit EVERYWHERE is 25mph (40kph). If you think that's slow, it is. It's like driving through a school zone, except it's the whole city. Even the freeways are only 50mph (80kph). Nobody really follows these (except for the old people), and you can find people doing 75mph+ (120kph) on the freeways all the time. Like usual, whenever I drive I always have this fear that I will be the one who gets caught for doing what everyone else does. The tickets I hear aren't cheap either, in the range of a few hundred dollars for breaking the speed limit.
When I first got to Japan and started eating school lunch, it sucked. I felt like they barely give you any food and I was still hungry after finishing. A little over half a year has passed and now I found myself being content off the school lunches. Not full, mind you, but content. The teachers eat the same amount of food that the students do, that means I eat as much as a 7th grader. Adults need more food man! Amazingly, my elementary school likes to give me seconds which is about the only reason I like teaching there.
I have officially decided that my trip to Japan will be a failure if I don't get a girlfriend here.
