A mailboxJapan is so different from the U.S.A. in so many ways. These pictures show a few of the ways.
Another way that caught my attention was the truck playing music - for us, it indicates the ice cream man - for them , it is the hot sweet potato .The Japanese people love them and I must admit I enjoyed them also. Yet another difference, was those things the Japanese wanted to get rid of they take to the corner of the street and put in a pile (called a Gomer pile) and they are picked up by what we would call a Second hand store, for resale. I found three beautiful bowls in the 'Gomer Pile.' They had been dicarded because they were an uneven set and were thought to be unlucky.
