We found this map in Hiroshima. These messy maps are pretty usual in Japanese cities, but this one was more dense and complicated than usual.
My friend Albert together with the map.

Useless doors
This is my collection of “useless doors”, there are tons of them in Japanese cities. Japanese is a relatively secure country but people usually install advanced security systems (Alarms, cameras and stuff like that), but it seems that they don’t really care too much about the security level of their garden door.
For example, look at this door with a SECOM sticker. SECOM is a security solutions company, specialized in installing alarm systems.
This house has an alarm and the door looks pretty protective but… if we zoom out(See next picture), we found out that it is a useless door, we can go inside evading the door from the right side!
These are some more pictures, so you can have fun looking at the funny details.

10% discount if it's raining
I got this discount ticket that it’s valid for a dinner in a restaurant only if it’s raining. I’ve only seen in practice this marketing strategy in Japan but I think it could work in other places. Would you go out for dinner if you have a 10% discount or would you stay at home?
