It's my second time in Japan. And i've noticed more things than I have during my last year's sojourn in the land of the rising sun. I'll be blogging my observations from time to time.

----

Silent, clean, organized--these words describe the roads in Japan.

Blowing of horns are seldom heard; free of pollution; very clean (i haven't seen even a small candy wrapper in the streets); there's NO TRAFFIC; and their road signs are amazing (see photos).

They have bicycle lanes and speed limit signs. (and i guess the lowest circle means "no stopping", im not that sure, I haven't confirmed it yet)

That sign probably means "no jaywalking" (not sure HEHE). We also have that in the Philippines but some of us don't bother following it, except when there's a CITOM officer around who's going to ask fees from those people who are not following traffice rules.

They can park their bicycles in a certain place. Do we have this at home? Probably not because majority of us ride jeepney in going to our places of destination.

In almost every corner of the streets, there are mirrors so that the driver who's going to pass the intersection will know if there's a car approaching.

They have smoking spots. Many of us smoke everywhere (except in Davao where smoking is prohibited). XD

I don't know if they're repairing the road or what. I just find it amazing to see Japanese people working (with machines making their work easier)
