I like the story about building a kiosk in Africa.

Whenever I asked them about the fact that I was always a little short on cash, they would say, 'You're a foreigner so you probably wouldn't understand, but spirits like that exist.'

Apparently, when they switched to cashless payment, the spirits disappeared.

I bought some fries and wondered why the container was tied up with a green rubber band. I googled it and found the answer that 'brown rubber bands are avoided because they blend in with the fried food and there is a risk of eating them by mistake, so green ones are used instead.' I was truly impressed that everything is the way it is for a reason.

I think the reason why transferring between bus routes is difficult, or rather, it takes some getting used to, is because there are so many instances like this where it looks like it's connected but it's not, or it looks like it could be connected if you walk a little, but it doesn't show up in the transfer guide.pic.twitter.com/yAxPIeNvL8

Stop forcing people to give you rewards when you level up. In this case, you're 'throwing away' the fruits of Pokémon GO players' years of hard work, and if you don't, you won't even be able to spin PokéStops.
