The ride to
School B, after passing the residential area is mostly rice fields on one side
and highway on the other. The amount of
trash motorists throw out of their windows is astounding. Apparently Japanese people are only clean and
tidy when others are watching. Here’s a
list of some of the litter I pass by every day on my rides to and from work:
plastic
bottles
broken china
sets
plastic bags
empty
cigarette boxes
tofu
container
cigarette
lighters
a futon
cup ramen cups
face masks
beer cans
The worst is
when they fling glass bottles, and the break on the sidewalk, because then I
have to be extra careful not to ride over any of the shards.
In the cities people
either have small pets or none at all. In the countryside there’s more space, so
people have larger dogs. This becomes a
problem because when they take them out for walks, they don’t curb them. Owners just let them relieve themselves
wherever. And big dogs have huge
turds. That leaves something else for me
to have to circumvent on my rides to and from school.
