1. A can of Coca-Cola costs more than one dollar US from a vending machine.
I swear I've seen em for 100 yen sometimes...but even so, is a dollar alot for a cola? Back home they always cost more
8. There are no 24 hour ATMs in Japan (closed on holidays and many only open during normal bank hours).
Not true.
10. The green traffic light is called "blue".
Yea the green/blue thing confuses me.
17. You can smoke just about anywhere.
So is that why there are special "smoking areas", and those funny "no smorking allowed" signs in various restaurants etc?
18. Japanese people take a hot bath every night, some do not have showers installed in their bathrooms.
Not the japanese I know
19. There is no insulation in Japanese homes' walls.
I could see how this could be an issue in Hokkaido... Otherwise..nah.
23. Three words: "heated toilet seats".
One word: sweet.
34. Young women will hand you toilet paper outside of train stations.
You mean tissues?
36. Gas station attendants will bow as the car pulls out of the station.
Quaint, ain't it?
44. It is not uncommon to pay $2 for a single apple.
They're almost _always_ 100yen/apple in Tokyo (sometimes a tad wee bit less). I assume they're not more expensive elsewhere (should be cheaper).
