I’m surprised to learn that the Shinkansen also has fast and slow trains (trains stopping at every train station) — for it to be generally thought about as an express rail line.

A wooden stool with a curved seat, placed against a wall of green tiles. Below the stool, there is a white plastic bin on the concrete floor.

I find this box for your bagpack a good idea. I’ve seen it in multiple restaurants here in Japan. And would wish we had them as well at home.

@V_ That's a very simple but effective idea. How sensible!

A person holding a package of 7-Eleven Premium fat spread. The packaging features an image of a slice of bread with a dollop of spread. The text includes Japanese characters and states "Fat Spread" along with nutritional information indicating 59 kcal per serving. The design suggests a butter-flavored product.

Not sure what I was thinking but I read “Flat Bread” instead of “Fat Spread”. My daughter was not happy that she got 300g of margarine for breakfast :-)

@V_ LOL I'm misreading things more and more often these days — not helpful when it's crossword clues. ????

Was in a Cat cafe for the first time today. Not sure what I think about the experience. It certainly was not crowded and the cats hat spaces to get out of Patreon reach. But it sure felt like they did not want much interaction with you. Only when you had treats of course.

@V_ I went to one about 8 years back and I remember they were very hesitant until I'd been there for about 15-30 mins and then finally approached us. .

@ChrisJWilson could be that I was a bit too eager/impatient today I've tried sitting down and waiting. But perhaps it was also to late in the afternoon already and they needed a break :-) I can fully understand having all these strangers entering your domain all of the time.

Tried Kinomo wearing today. I liked the way the clothing felt. But was not sure if I fitted into them and weather I should do it.
