So I've definitely complained about a lot of the weird package designs or the weather or various day to day things. However, I do think that there are lots of things that Japan does that other places should also do (or do more of) so I thought it would be good to focus on those.
Since I complained about package designs the most, this week, I'm starting with some packaging I really like: the refillable sort.
A Canadian in Japan writes about cultural differences, places of interest around Tokyo, food, drink and whatever else seems interesting at the time. Updates Mondays and Thursdays (typically).

Excessive packaging is excessive
If I bought a bottle of ketchup in Canada, I would expect just that: a bottle. It would have a little seal under the cap, but that's about all the extra packaging it would have.
Not so in Japan. Here, when you buy a bottle of ketchup, it comes in a bag.
