The Only in Japan File: January 2009

Back in the Black...

Wrapping from souvenir cinnamon biscuits from Kyoto; ginger tea from the local supermarket; chocolate that will make you appear crazy...

We were travelling on the Midosuji line and as we got off at Namba, a lady lost her shoe between the train and the platform...

As quick as a flash the station attendant got his hooked stick and rescued it in a blur before the next train arrived

The owner was very happy to be reunited with her shoe...
