Not sure if I've written about vending machines before, but here you go again. There are so many vending machines in Japan. You will never die of thirst here. All you need is 150 yen (about a buck fitty/maybe two bucks now). Japan has these tiny little cans of coffee that people drink in the morning. I rarely see people carrying around their own carafes (is that how you spell it. . .wow it is first time I ever used that word). Anyway, yeah, so people never are carrying around their own cups of coffee. They are carrying around these tiny cans that
Tommy Lee Jones tries to sell over here. During the winter, they start selling way more of these tiny coffee cans. The vending machines here can keep things hot and cold simultaneously. The drinks that have the red label underneath are hot, and the ones with blue underneath are cold. There is a little bump in the machine towards the bottom. That thing that has a white oval on it. That is where you can touch your cellphone to the machine, and your cellphone bill will be charged. You don't even need to carry around coins here. You can also use your suica card, which is a card you use to ride the train. You touch it to the gate, and money is automatically deducted, so you don't need to buy tickets. I hardly ever use it to buy drinks though. I try to get rid of all my coins. Japan doesn't have dollar bills. The lowest denomination for a bill is 1000 yen/about 10 bucks. .
