Ok... a few more...
So I have now been at a few Starbucks locations here.. they take a bit more time here with each brew and I swear the latte's are better than NYC.. also.. order to stay and you get your coffee in a mug! the whole point is to reduce the number of paper cups ending up in the trash and the city is the one that makes them do it.. really nice to sit with a ceramic mug full of your favorite coffee beverage
All receipts are also lottery tickets.. seems most business would not give receipts and therefore not report earnings, so the city mandated a certain type of receipt and made a lottery system to encourage patrons to ask for said receipt.. all of this to keep the taxes flowing..
pretty much all interior walls in your average apartment are concrete..no studs and sheetrock here.. want to hang a picture then you have to pull out some heavy machinery.. purpose for this is twofold.. fireproofness and humidty, your average wood construction would not last long in this climate.. knock on any wall in this apartment and you are met with a very solid sound..
they don't check ID for liqour here.. drinking is not all that popular... extrememly little underage drinking so not a problem.. this society is much more into the tea than the booze....
No tipping! gotta love that...
