The other amazing thing about Japan is that you will find drink vending machines in the most remotest places of the country. You would find at least one in many road junctions. The light that it throws onto the street at night is nice to see though.
You do ask yourself sometimes though: "How do they power up these things when the nearest energy source seems so far away?" Imagine travelling across row after row of padi fields in the countryside to find a vending machine in the middle of one.
In vending machine country, it's easier to buy a can of coke than to dispose of it. Rubbish bins are rare in Tokyo, and you are encouraged to take your thrash back for recycling. Take 1 minute to buy a drink, take 20 minutes to throw it away...
