I
can't say enough about the efficiency in Japan.
It is truly amazing. They don't
waste an inch of space. You should see
the looks of confusion when I try to explain my in-laws' ranch. Even when I show them pictures. The limited space has created an interesting
new dimension for me. I now have to look
up, as well as left and right, when I am looking for a business or store. It is a vertical world with shops,
restaurants, and offices stretching high into the sky (and sometimes several
stories below ground as well). Sometimes
you unknowingly pass up an amazing place because you just didn't look up. Like the time I was trying to find the Statue
of Liberty in Ame-Mura. It was on top of
a building. I could not see it from
under my umbrella. Thank goodness I ran
into the friend I was meeting as I was wandering around.
Some examples.
