Space play/pause · J/L seek 10s · [ ] previous/next
Summary
He criticizes unsecured street rubbish attracting noisy crows, describing scattered waste, near- missed droppings, and ineffective hawk-based deterrence. He complains about elderly pedestrians, unnecessary shopping-bag tape, children making noise outside his apartment, and Japan’s permanently audible phone-camera shutter. He recreates an English fry-up, finding Japanese ginger-fried pork resembles bacon but lacks curing and smoke; added salt makes it close.
Insight
He continues contrasting Japanese inconveniences with England while adapting pragmatically through local substitutes.
