Japan in no particular order: Manners

Vending machines are everywhere.  So you're never far from a Pocari Sweat or Amino Supli.

Late in the game, Emma and I discover that the following things are considered rude:

  1. Blowing your nose or sneezing in public
  2. Wearing sandals barefoot without socks
  3. Eating or drinking while walking

Good thing we are doing them constantly. Oops! Sorry Japan!

The second of these is pretty unfortunate given how hot it gets. And the third is super-strange given the ubiquitous soda vending machines. It explains the lack of trash cans, though.
