Strange English things
Ok, now I've written the main bulk of my time 'back home', now I'll enlarge on weird things about being being there!
*Queues
*Chocolate bar vending machines (that don't exist in Japan, only drinks ones, or cigarettes, or alcohol.) And that don't accept notes either!
*Blunt bordering on rude Dutch air-staff, although that is due largely to their outgoingness/frankness, in contrast to the perfect service done so humbly by Japanese staff and especially women.
*A lot of people with different skin colours.
*Couples kissing on the plane! (In Japan couples hug or hold hands, but rarely kiss in public.)
*A lovely relaxed attitude towards Christian mission which I liked, seeing God as the author of all that happens.
*Lots of cakes. And more cakes. And puddings. And sweet things.
*Grubby coffee shops and toilets.
*Enormous sizes of clothes and shoes in stores like Tesco. (actually just 'normal' UK size but looked kinda enormous.)
*Chatty taxi drivers who don't dress up for the job.
