PLEASE TAKE YOUR TRASH HOME

Yes, but it has become VERY irritating that now in Japan, there are virtually no places where you can dispose of your rubbish

    Hmm. That’s surprising. I’m all for more public bins with rodent-resistant design that are opened by a foot pedal. Recycling bins too.

      HAHAHA

      Are you kidding ?

      Not only do 98% or more of dog owners immediately clear up the doo-doo (I had a girl, who told me, when I asked about Paris, what she had thought of the architecture, that she had hardly seen it as she spent the entire time looking down at the pavement in avoidance of merde), we have witnessed quite a few times assiduous owners CATCHING THE BUSINESS IN HANDKERCHIEFS AS IT COMES OUT – a bit like baby delivery

      It never fails to shock me. On the one hand, extremely solicitous of others and the need for public hygiene, on the other… well I just find it appalling and not very dignified

      THE STENCH

        But when owners have picked up where do they put it?

        In ready made plastic containers carried in cotton knapsacks

        I tend to have to look away – but it is undeniably better than the European turd sliding horror

        My day is ruined from the mere whiff of a speck

        Wow. Crazy to think of carrying around dog doo in a knapsack!?!

        You very rarely see an unchi on the street – our landlords tried to put a ‘do not shit here’ sign outside our house to warn off dog owners with loose morals, but I ripped it down because the design was aesthetically unacceptable

        never seen a doop in our immediate vicinity – it is quite the no no

    That is unbelievable. I have never heard of such a thing. Most places, let alone countries, always want you to use the trash bins.

    Rarely do you see a trash bin in South Asia.
    And if you do, the trash is thrown (hopefully) at the bin not in it.
    Yes, even the stunning natural beauty of Nepal is littered with empty pan packets, noodle wrappers, and water bottles.
    😒

    One of the many enduring memories of my 3-week trip through Iran: the incredibly monumental, epic, awe-inspiring landscapes which are—in a radius of 80 to 100 km of each town or city—completely marred by tens of millions plastic bags and other rubbish lying/flying around in more or less one metre distance from each other. It will take a 100 years to clean up, or a million years to rot away.

        Visiting the Grand Mosques of Isfahan (Shah Mosque, Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, Jameh Mosque, Hakim Mosque, to name but a few), at some point you just want to sit down and literally cry, as the beauty and splendour of those buildings is so overwhelming, it nearly breaks the heart.

    I am very pleased you had that experience and envy it
