RE: Why You Don’t See People Eating While Walking in Japan

I feel like this one is changing pretty quickly. It’s still not nearly as common as it is in other countries, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it were in five years.
I hope the younger generation in Japan doesn’t pick up on the mega-sized My Cup that everyone in America seems to have at their side at all times. That really drives me crazy when I visit the States.

Funny thing is when I have students go to the States and come back, those massive gas station drinks and the equally giant travel cups everyone seems to have are one of the things almost everyone mentions to me when they get back. They really make an impression.
They’re certainly hard to miss.
I can’t believe how people just carry them around like permanent accessories while they’re walking, working, driving, etc.
It seems like a symptom of massive insecurity to me, but maybe that’s going to far.
