Public toilets in Japan are CHEAP… in comparison to Canada
I made a video about why Japan's public toilets are amazing and one of the reasons was that you always find them when you need to go. I speculated that perhaps there were so many because they were cheap to build and maintain. So, I investigated.

    I lived in kyoto as an expat for 3 years. There was an old man, 80 something, who lived near my house. Everyday, I saw him searching and collecting trash early morning and sweeping the place. Then out of curiosity I asked him why he did what he did even at such an old age, considering there were urban cleaning services to do the job? To this he replied very politely "It's my duty as well, to do service to the environment, as much as it is of the Urban cleaning services." That left me red-faced with embarrassment.

    Japanese who are fluent in American are quite out of the average. So, I think it's best not to take them seriously because they have a pronounced bias. For example, if you learn the languages of Asia or other European countries, you can expect very different reactions to traditional rules. North America is an immigrant nation with a short history. The country is huge but quite unique.

    I think the mini toaster is awesome, use your knife or tongs to remove and no need to take it out-just eat from the tray. $40 is worth it for me. I also liked the mini bento box and I could cook many things in it. We have mini crock pots for work and they awesome especially if you just meal prep in a ziplock bag at home. You just dump the contents in the morning. By lunch you have a healthy meal and it is warm and cozy. I see the bento very similar but with the ability to make fresh rice- frozen rice is just ok.

    It's funny because from what I've seen, the corporate culture of Japan has people there able to drink the average American under the table on a casual weekday, albeit not at home. Which isn't to say a lot of Americans aren't louder than the average Japanese person when sober, but everyone I know who actually wants to live and work in Japan are introverts who specifically find the quiet aspects of Japanese culture appealing. Just makes the whole "party" thing a bit ironic
