For those who had being to Japan, have you ever tried looking for somethings very common in Singapore but can hardly find one in Japan?...

Here it is....


I had been trying to find one since day one i landed, from airport to hotel, cannot find one and was told by the tour guide later, that, you can find lots of toilet, food stalls...etc....but for disposal item, please get ready your own plastic bag and bring your own rubbish home for disposal....

I was so happy to find one finally, at least it help me to clear some of my rubbish...

Hi bro tlchuan, you did remind me of some happening when we landed in Haneda airport, as we need to fill in those white card and those instructions were in japanese... , so we aka aka...fill it with our best knowledge of what wriiten there.... , first obstacle, before approaching the immigration counter for our passport check, there is an officer there to check our passport first, so when he check ours, he point at the white card and speak in japanese... , i looked at him with , then he do some sign language and point at the white card again, then i realise he want us to declare how much $$$ we brought in and had to declare it... .....finally clear the counter and proceed to security check, then we realise my son still stuck in the counter..... ...siao liao...why so many problems.....then we realised later my son did not write his name on the white card..... , then we proceed to the security checkpoint, this big size japanese custom officer from the security checkpoint shout at me...."you there, over here"....i thought...siao liao this time....so many ppeople dun call...why me....i quickly asked my kids to gather and walk towards the checkpoint with smiling face, as a typical kiasu singaporean, before the officer said anythings, i asked my kids to open up all bags for the officer to check, surprisingly he did not bother and asked us to move on....

We had 3 groups of malaysian from Ipoh, segamat and johor bahru, they clear the immigration with no problems....
