Night Snack


Buying snacks out of the back of a Japanese mini-van and by "mini" I mean it would fit inside a Dodge Caravan. The concept of this street vendor in Japan is misleading however. The Japanese do not eat on the street, with the occasional exception of an ice cream cone. Meals to go are packaged neatly for take home. You do not walk down the street munching on a Yakatori. If you do go so far as to sneak a snack on the go you will be shunned with disturbed stares and left with no place to dispose of the refuse. There are almost no trash cans on the street and no litter either. Tokyo is by far one of the cleanest cities in the world.
