Bathroom Mirror

This is one of the coolest features in the hotel rooms in the Keio Plaza Hotel in Tokyo. A rectangular area of the mirror over the sink is heated so it doesn't fog up during a hot shower. The reason it looks a little foggy is because my camrea lens was starting to fog up.

Bus

Each row has an extra fold-out seat.

Check out these awesome cupholders. Just fold them up when you're done.

The lock on my bike is built in. To unlock, just push the key over and leave it in while you ride, when you're done, close the metal thing to keep the spokes from turning, and your key pops out. It's great because you don't have to lug around a big metal lock, and you'll never forget your key. The bad part is, it doesn't actually lock the bike to anything, so someone could just roll it away on the front wheel, but hey, this is Japan, remember?

My PE teacher's car, has indicators for incline, pitch, and roll, digital compass, those little white squares under the picture of the car to tell you when you're moving, and who knows what else.

Why pay your employees to wash the toilet when you can have your customers do it? Actually a great idea though, cause this way you know it's clean.
