The other day I was walking along the river in our lovely home, Higashikurume. (How un-Tokyo does it look! It still surprises me.)
As I was passing a fence, I came across these: a little set of keys sitting on a post. Which reminded me of something I find a little curious about Japan:
If you ever lose something here, you 100% had better remember where you lost it, because as a rule one does not hand in anything they find - they leave it so that you can go back and get it.
This is great, of course, unless you are me.
(It is also only great if you remember exactly where your keys fell out of your pocket.)
(Other Japanese curiosities I've noticed, if you're interested: Why don't people wear helmets on bikes? And, more seriously - why must we all use 1 ply toilet paper?)
Are there any curiosities you've come across while travelling or in your own country?
