The second thing I miss about Japan are the Vending machines. Not just the fact that they are everywhere, but also the fact that they have an absolutely dizzying array of selections (hot and cold). I don't think I had the same beverage twice. Oh, and everything about a buck, maybe buck and a quarter.
I'm back from Japan almost 3 weeks now and there are some things I sorely miss.
First, the train system.
You can get damn near anywhere in Japan using trains. Get yourself an IC card and you can tap on/tap off trains nationwide. (Get one on your phone and you can transfer funds directly from your bank account and use it to pay for purchases, too. Bye, bye foreign ATM's).
Japan is roughly the size of California. Could you imagine California with a train system this elaborate!
I mean this in the best way possible, but SNL, WTF?
Every time there's a new Planet of the Apes movie I think, "Where's the Planet of the Ape musical?" Come on Broadway, you're slacking off.
You guys remember that cringeworthy video from 2017 when Trump was president and he had all his toadies - sorry I meant cabinet - around the big table and he made them all one by one say something flattering about him?
Perhaps the Republicans who are praising him loudly right now should take another look at that video and see where all those ass-kissers are today. 🙄
