Vending Machines


I could think of a dozen things a day to blog about Japan, I have only chosen a mere chunk to share with you. Partly due to time constraints, partly due to the daily exhaustion that inevitably occurs near the end of another busy day. I do however want to make a special mention of vending machines. They are not as we know them. 

They only serve drinks. None of your McCoys or family size M&Ms. Drinks only. In cans or plastic bottles. No change there then. The real difference is that you can buy a hot can of coffee; a hot tea or a hot chocolate. Yum. Sometimes, it's just what you need.

And they are everywhere. Like pachinko halls, you are never more than 20 yards away from a vending machine. Seriously. In the smallest village to the biggest city, vending machines are on EVERY corner.

My personal favourite is cold green tea. There are about a dozen different kinds in the vending machines. Jason is not a fan favouring coke zero or water.
