The 'random questions about Japan' thread
Thought I'd open up a topic where people could ask all sorts of quick questions without having to open new threads or excavate old ones just for a short query. If this thread picks up then we might consider turning it into some sort of mini-FAQ of the weirdest questions out there...
To kick-off, here are a few short questions of my own:
1. I know Japan is a no-tipping country for the most part, but does this also apply to cabs or do they expect the fare to be rounded up for instance?
2. Do convenience stores like 7-11 sell beer? Any cut-off times for stores that operate 24/7?
3. Is drinking in public legal, as in going for a walk whilst sipping on a cold can of Asahi?
