A few Annoyances

The things that annoy me the most about Japan:

• smokers everywhere. for the love the god people, do you need to congregate in one place, including restaurants, to smoke? I have never been happier that Toronto has banned smoking in bars and restaurants. At least here you can't walk and smoke, for the most part.
• there are no garbage cans anywhere! i understand everyone's reluctance, given attacks in the past by the Aum Shinri Kyo and such, but when you have stuff to throw out it is certainly annoying
• there is food everywhere. thus, i am in a state of constant hunger
• as a rez student, i am not fond of commuting. this sentiment is strengthened everyday
