9:50 Packages in the US: unless the package requires a signature, or you’re in an apartment, they just leave the package by the door. If it’s small enough, the USPS will leave it in your mailbox. Otherwise, they will leave a notice and try to deliver the next day. In some cases, you have to call for redelivery or pick it up from the depot.
from what i know, that's pretty common in lots of places. if it doesn't need a person to confirm the pickup, packages, letters, etc. will just be dropped off and left in front of the homes, which makes stealing those things far too easy and common.
The odd thing is that there wasn't a confirmation signature requirement for a $300 switch in 2018 but for a $12 shirt there was or toreba plushies too.
Where I live, (Latin America) if you live in a building with a security guard, and the package doesn't need signature they receive it for you... And if you live in an independent house they may just leave it there or return to sender...
In Germany, the mailman will often give it to a neighbor, or take it back the the distribution station, where you have to pick it up yourself
In canada as well
32:32 Love how they featured Jun's Kitchen video to showcase how high quality Japanese kitchen knives are. I wish Shogo could collab with him someday.
You're right! I also hope they would have a collab somehow! They all are great!
In the U.K. we have different thickness of sliced bread too, thin, medium, thick and extra thick/toasty thicknesses too.
I was just about to say the same thing. I thought all pre sliced bread was sold this way!
In america we have two bread thiccnesses. Regular and "Texas toast" which is nice & thick for butter toast.
You can get them in America but not necessarily for the same kind of bread
@@PLATESWEEPER yep....'Texas Toast' thick slices.
Either slathered in butter & garlic then grilled to go with bbq OR dipped in whipped raw egg and pan fried for French toast
In Canada, we have thick "home style".
Fun fact: Bamboo grows so quickly because it's a type of grass. Really thick, strong grass but grass nonetheless. As we all know, grass grows quickly so it makes sense that bamboo would as well :)
Oh that explains why bamboo is made of small vertical fibers, just like grass!
In spain, and probably most of europe, when we recieve a package and we cannot pick it up in our front doors, we would get a call from the mailman or the shipping company to inform us that the package will be stored in a paper store/quiosk or the delivery company's local storage closest to your vicinity. Also, some convenience stores have started adding cutting machines to the baked goods section
In the USA it depends on the carrier. However, in general USPS will deliver to a door or Apartment's Cluster mailbox. They will keep it and leave a slip on the door or in the mail box if a signiture is required. You then have to pick it up at the post office. Non-governmental carriers like UPS, FedEx, DHL, ect. Will leave a package on your door step. Because it it is against Federal law to put anything in a mailbox, “on which no postage has been paid,” and if caught doing so a person could be fined up to $5,000 and an organization $10,000(595,955 to 1,191,910 yen). Called the Mailbox Restriction. The postage has to be paid to USPS, so private companies don't touch the mailboxes. Stealing from mail is also a felony. A lot of places anymore will allow you to sign up for text alerts for packages once you get a tracking number. They'll let you know where it is at from the moment the package is dropped off, to the moment they get delivered to your front door, via text or email notification.
in the United States we have a problem of porch bandits because a lot of times they just leave the package in front of your door
I'm in the UK and I had a problem with a porch bandit last December when the people delivering my brother's Christmas present left it by the door and didn't even inform me, took me days to find out what happened and I complained as much as I could to get a new one before Christmas
In many places in the USA, the lazy delivery personnel will throw the package to the other side of the porch where it is often missed. In my area, my neighbors constantly get my mail and I often get their mail (and packages) despite that our house numbers are displayed in large numerals which are easy to read.
In some countries we have security tags that break when you try to remove them without a proper remover, and it puts permanent ink on the item (and who brought it!).
I've recently picked up the manga Akebi's Sailor Uniform, and the main character went to a school where she is the only student enrolled. I thought this is just some creative writing on behalf of the mangaka. I'm surprised to learn that it's actually a real thing that occurs in Japan.
In Finland many people order their packages to their workplaces if there is no possibility of having them delivered in the evening. I work as a receptionist at a relatively large company and sign in things like bike parts, wine and fashion clothes from other parts of Europe and (around Christmas time) also presents for the employees' children that they want to keep secret till Christmas. Then I send them messages that their packages have arrived and they pick them up when going home from work.
Edit: I just checked what the driver's license rules are nowadays. They have been loosened significantly since my teen years, so what you need now is only four hours of preliminary theory lessons if this your first licence for any vehicle, at least ten hours of actual driving lessons with either a professional teacher or someone with a teaching license (the latter is usually a mother or father, the licence is relatively easy to get if you are an experienced driver) while having more theory lessons, the amount of which depends on the student's needs, and after all this you need eight hours teaching of "recognising risks". If I understood right, the mandatory "driving in dark" and "driving in slippery weather" trainings are now part of this "recognising risks" thing. There are simulators for both, and I personally really enjoyed driving on the slippery road simulator when getting my own driver's license. I still remember my teacher saying stoically "and next morning there was a small news piece of two people who died in a moose crash" when I bungled up my evading moves and the car slid straight against the soft hanging tubes that represented a moose on the road.
I liked how you were natural and spontaneous with your friend, even in front of the camera.
Listening to you helped me to figure how japanese people talk when in a friendly and relaxed context.
You're doing a great job promoting japanese culture on your channel, congratulations.
When we are not home in Greece, there are two choices. The one is re-sent the next day, yet the other and most common is that we go at the post office and collect the package 🙄. PS usually, statistically speaking, you won't be home when the package arrives for some reason
The 50/60Hz issue just came up this week at work while we were discussing a product developed for Japan. Your video helped me understand how this situation happened. Very timely. 🙂
In the US:
-Most store bought bread comes in the same size and roughly the same number of slices. If you go to a bakery however, you can sometimes get it custom sliced or even unsliced.
-Many delivery companies just leave the package on your doorstep. If it requires a signature, they will try again the next day or two but then they hold it at the local distribution center and you have to go get it.
-Our highways are free but there are some toll roads that have the advantage of fewer on/off ramps, which can make it faster. It varies by state though.
-Two weeks to get your license is FAST! Like, CRAZY FAST.
-We have cicadas in the US. We have explosive hatchings every 11-13 years where millions of them come out for a massive mating season.
This was a great video! Thank you!
Also, your state doesn’t give you a temporary license?
In the Southeastern part of the US, cicada are very common. Every summer in the countryside, you can find the shells from their molting on the trunks of pine trees. When I was a kid, I would collect dozens of them.
Yes, cicadas are indeed very common in the southern part of the United States. It's a part of summer we expect. Sometimes they get so loud that we have to raise our voices to have outdoor conversations.
Living here in Texas, they are VERY common and can drive one a bit crazy with their noise...I didn't know that there were SO MANY different types of them in Japan and one can tell which one belongs to a specific type by their "song"...
In the US, public schools will teach the classroom portion of driving, and parents have to teach their kids the practical, in car, driving. Usually kids start in parking lots then move onto the roads. In my state, once you have a set amount of driving experience with your parents, you have to sign up to drive with an instructor for a couple weeks who makes sure you actually know how to drive before you receive your license. I think its interesting that in Japan everyone reverse parks, because that's something people hardly ever do here (usually the only people who do are cops) and its something I've had to teach myself over the last couple of years since it actually is safer than forward parking.
I can see that as having to see everything in front mean you get a better view as the window is bigger and unlike the back you have less blind spots
In France, in company's big parking lots you are required to reverse park in case of an incident.
only cops do the reverse parking in your area? Neither of the only two folks I've met who do reverse parking here are cops (though one of them I could see him doing so if he were more in shape. probably for the better knowing him tho.
Reverse parking is safer statistically, but forward parking is more intuitive. As a consequence, I think forward parking is more common among family-taught drivers, while reverse parking is more common among people who learn by taking classes.
I think it depends on the situation. If you are parking outside in a crowded tight space it is better to park the car in reverse since it is easier to get it out especially if there are multiple cars passing by. But if you gonna park at your neighborhood where usually streets are empty you would just park it straight without much thinking.
The driver's school fact is crazy to me. In California, I took a written test and a test on the road twice each, once for my learners permit and once for my driver's license. The rest of the training was a course (online, which I cheated on) on the laws and a few dozens hours behind the wheel. I don't think we paid much money at all. Now, California drivers are absolutely crazy- and car accidents are the leading cause of death amongst teens, so I guess it adds up that the minimalistic approach in my state isn't the only way it's done.
In Canada, depending on delivery company, they will either just drop your package at your door or leave a slip with where you can pick it up. If you don't have a car, like most millenials, this is incredibly inconvenient and annoying. If there's an issue and you don't have your tracking number for the package, you're pretty much screwed.
Sometimes they will redeliver. But it's almost always during the work day when you're not home.
And often, you only have 5 days to 2 weeks to pick up from the post office before they send it back ):
For packages in the NL, you get a tracking code with a time window (usually about an hour or two apart). If they can't deliver it, they'll deliver it to a local shop that's affiliated with the shipping company, and you can pick it up there the next day, sometimes even the same day.
Though this depends on the shipping company, some of them just come by a day later, or you can reschedule it yourself.
Getting a driver’s license in Canada is usually around $500, but to get a FULL license (legally allowed to drive on highways by yourself) it takes at least 20 months. Yes, nearly 2 YEARS to get a driver’s license.
I forked over the money in Japan and got my license in less than a month (13 day camp plus 3 attempts at the final written test). I can convert my Japanese license into a Canadian one whenever I decide to return to Canada.
Oh, in Manitoba it costs minimum $100 or so. And it takes 9 months. But if you owned driving license in other country, the waiting time (9 months) would be shorter or 0. I think it depends on the province.
In Australia you get a slip telling you to go to the post office to collect it when you are not busy
In Germany the mailman is either asking a neighbor to keep the package and leaves a letter with the name of the neighbor, or the Package is left by a package station nearby where you have to type a code in.
Super fun to watch and compare!
Love your videos Shogo ❤️❤️
omoshiroi! many facts that made sence and i could notice during my visit to Japan and many more i didnt knew. i remember reading the smile option in mcdonalds and was intriged, so i asked for one with my meal as Kazu said it was from a cute girl as well and it really made my day.
Cicadas are very common in nelson, New Zealand. Some years the noise is very loud.
Here in finland there are cicadas only in one municipality so i have never heard them 😂
Watched two of your videos and subbed! Great work!
My goodness I’m glad I saw this early!! This is a wonderful overview of things Japan! Very informative and helpful🌈
We have chicharras or cicadas in Southern Arizona, USA. They come especially around the monsoon time in the summer. I used to pick off their shells from the chain link fence and scare my mom with it. That sound also helped me fall asleep.
In Finland if you are not home when the package comes, the postman will leave you a note and the package is taken to the nearest post office, where you can collect it when you have the time. But there are different systems here so this is just one example.
Kazu is so easy going! Love seeing you guys hang out!
In Germany often the package is left with a friendly neighbor ( especially in medium apartment houses ) or the postman leaves you a notice to pick it up at the post office
I’m all for throwing in a little cuteness 🥰 been so interested in learning about Japan recently, thanks 🙏
In the US, redelivery windows can typically only be requested for the next day, and have a 6-8 hour delivery window.
On the cost of driving on highways, for the same Dallas route that is used for comparison is free (paid for by taxes). Most highways in the US are free to drive on, with occasional toll roads spread around (The North, West Coast, and Northeast of the US have more.).
Driving license requirements here are a joke. Both of my younger siblings didn't even DO any training and they both have licenses. They just passed a VERY basic test. It makes for very bad drivers. I did take classes and also raced motorcycles (which requires training and multiple levels of licensing) so I have a considerable amount of training.
The Cicadas are a thing I am used to myself, because I live in an area of the US (the Midwest) where there are a lot of Cicadas. The sound of Minmin-zen is the sound of summer for me, as well.
In Finland, packages are taken back to local post office for a pick up. We also have a parcel locker, where the packages can be ordered to instead of home address. There are more than 2000 parcel lockers across Finland.
In some states you can get your license as young as 15 1/2 if you go to a classroom for a couple hours a night and show proof of the classroom. It's fairly expensive. If you're parents can't or won't pay for the class, you can be licensed at 18 with no classroom and only your parents teaching you to drive.
The package thing: in eu if a package comes and you're not able to receive it yourself the mail person either lives it with your neighbours and puts a note in the mailbox or they take it back to your local post office leave you a note informing you about it and you get it yourself, if it isn't picked up by the end of 7 workdays the package will be returned (at least in the part of the eu I live in)
9:39 well how we in the Netherlands do it is, they give the package to your neighbour and leave a note where your package has been delivered (they ask if you want to be that person, every time)
24:38 I just noticed, in higurashi no naku koro nu (when they cry) you here the higurashi mostly when there is a mystery or or a creepy scene is playing
I've never heard of bread having different thicknesses
I would say 50 % of us here(USA) can't park correct in a parking space much less back into one.
When you're not home for your package delivery in the Netherlands, you get a slit in the mailbox saying the package is either delivered to your neighbor or to a designated package retrieval point. The address of the neighbor or retrieval point are also on the slit.
Sometimes you can also request for the package to be delivered to the retrieval point if you know you won't be home.
In Brazil if we aren't home when the package is delivered we actually have to go to the agency and pick the package there.
9:50 in New Zealand, if the postman needs your signature for the package and they can’t find you or your property is very far away from your mailbox, they will leave a piece of paper in the mailbox to say they have tried to deliver, and then they leave the package at the local post office building for you to collect with your piece of paper. Or sometimes if your neighbour is nearby, they will sometimes let the neighbour sign for your package and keep it at their home until you come back.
Thanks for sharing. So fascinating to hearing so many aspects of life in Japan. You guys are great.
nice fun video, shogo!
honestly these facts about japan appear to be quite unique, since i haven't heard of or seen any of these kinds of things elsewhere.
Most of the time, if they don't leave the package at the door, I have to go to a delivery center to pick it up.
Cicadas are common in the US on the east Coast and south during the summer
“Brood X” Cicadas in the midwest region come out in waves every 17 years. I am in Cincinnati, Ohio and in 2021 they came out and were so loud. There are so many you cant help but swat them away as you try to walk to the store or the mailbox! I got bopped in the head by them so many times 😂
Was raised Jodoshinshu Buddhist in California, the background music reminds me of my early childhood in the temple making pickled vegetables with kids of all races :) learning Japanese Buddhist customs and traditions, stories, and lessons, thanks for taking me back shogo:)
when he said "this is not common outside of Japan?" I immediately recall and compare everything happened in my country
Hey, Shogo-san! Have you heard the recent news about The Sessho-seki aka 'Killing Stone' incident? if so, what are your thoughts about it, if it doesn't hurt to ask?
check his newest shorts video he explained it in that video
We have cicadas in the US. Especially southeastern US. In South Carolina we have cicadas every summer, and lady bugs during fall and winter getting into the house. Love to listen to the cicadas during the summer. There's also sone cicadas that only emerge every 13 and 17 years. I enjoy your channel.
Not only do we have different slices of thickness of break in the UK, but you can also go to the bakery area of most stores, take a loaf, and ask one of the bakers to slice it to specific thicknesses that may not be available by default!
In the us just general bread is sold by weight mostly. 1/2 pound 1 pound. Thickness tends to be standard unless you are looking for a particular type example Texas toast is very thick. You can get others but normally have to go to a bakery section not the bread isle.
As for drivers license it can very greatly. I was lucky that my school had drivers education was a class elective around tenth grade. But the surrounding counties had to pay around $100 us to take an exam that they had to study for in their own time.
We have some cicadas where I live (mid-western United States).
Packages in Berlin get either left with the neighbour if you're not home or don't get to the door in time, or they leave it at a designated shop. You have to take the slip they leave you with to pick it up at the pick up shop. With some packages, you might also need to bring ID.
9:50 - Packages in the UK: If your not home, they'll either call you or let your neighbour keep it untill they go and pick it up.
Hello again Shogo. In Australia, supermarkets generally have a standard bread loaf size sliced thin or thick (toast). Specialty bakers will slice the loaf to your preference. 🤓🇦🇺👍
In the United States packages are just left at your doorstep. This has lead to an increase in package thefts. Man, so many of these things sound so amazing to have access to!
On the bread...in the US, we have thin; regular and extra thick - commonly referred to as "Texas Toast"...the thickest is often used to make a breakfast favourite known as french toast ( which is topped most often with butter and syrup )
Japan ought to set up a system of nurses who can advise people which kind of doctor they should go to. It can even be done over the phone. It would also be cheaper than having to go to multiple doctors.
Packages here in my country is like: If you are not home. Either they deliver it at a neighbour and put a note in your mailbox where on it states they delivered it at your neighbour. OR they take the package back to the post office and you have to pick it up yourself within a week or they’ll send the package back. They also put a note in your mailbox notifying you of that as well. ^^;
Driving school in Croatia makes you take a test for driving laws, a test for first aid amd then at least 35 hours of driving with an instructor. We usually drive manual shift cars, the automatic cars started being more popular in the past 10 years
Hello Shogo. In Australia, if you are not home when the postman brings a package, they will leave a card asking you to collect the parcel from local the Post Office. Private couriers will leave a card directing you to their depot. You can usually opt to have the parcel left at your door but at your own risk. The couriers will usually take photo to prove they left it at your door. 🤓🇦🇺👍
In Canada and Malaysia, if you miss a package from the national postal service, you'll get a note to collect it from the post office.
You can either submit for a redeliver but usually you get a note with the adress where your package is at. Usually a nearby store.
We have cicadas every summer night in Houston, TX, so to hear them sing was familiar to me, Shogo-kun. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵
I grew up in Illinois (not too far from Michigan of course!), and we would take a driving class in high school that involved one or two days a week of classroom lectures about driving. Then we'd take a once-or-twice a week driving class for a few weeks before we'd try to get our license. I did fail my first attempt because I was nervous, but I got it on the second try.
The different states vary HUGELY on how difficult they are. Some States don't require you to take a driving test when you renew or change to their license from another State. Others are VERY strict and require you to drive a car to prove you can operate it safely and some (New Jersey and Florida) also require you to parallel park. Most States just require you to pass a written multiple-choice test and then take a vision test.
hi ...man u make some amazing vids....keep doing this great work.....a suggestion can u make videos about kenjutsu and their training regimes
from indian :)
In Australia pre-pandemic most packages required a signature. If you weren't home or couldn't come to the door the delivery person would leave a notice in your letterbox to collect the item from your local post office. If the item wasn't collected within about 14 days it would be returned to sender.
Now though most of the time they just leave the package by your door.
Learning to drive here in Australia you can get a learner's permit from age 17 onwards by sitting a written exam about the road rules. Once you pass the written exam, you can start driving on the road straight away as long as you are accompanied by a fully licensed driver in the passenger seat. You need to accrue over 100 hours documentable driving experience before you are allowed to take a driving test to get your provisional licence which allows you to drive by yourself. Most people get lessons from driving schools which cost about $50 for a one hour lesson, and also get driving experience with family to get enough hours to be able to take their test. If you fail the written or driving test for any reason you still have to pay for it.
I love Rachel and Jun, I also miss Texan in Tokyo
Do a video about the killing stone that now held tamamo no mae because it broke apart.
here in the uk if you miss a package theyll either leave it at your door or if its royal mail (most popular shipping company here) youll just have to go pick up the package at the post officer another day
Im form Denmark and sometimes when you get deliverd a package and you arent home, they just leave it in front of your door. One time it was a 3000 DKK package and i came home and it just layed there, chould have been stolen but thankfully it dident.
In France, you get only one chance to call and ask for them to come back with the parcel. If you miss the time slot allowed to call them after the mailman left the slip in your mailbox, you're forced to go all the way to the post office to get it yourself but it won't be there before at least the next day for you to pick-up. If it's not registered or too big they slip it in the mailbox. And bread is either sold not sliced (regardless of the type of bread, especially true of baguettes. Always sold whole...) or the slices have the same thickness (for a specific brand). Parking lots aren't always divided that way so when they are you can back into the space or come in front first. Others have diagonal spaces or in line. Some French territories don't even have trains at all, like the overseas territories or some of the rural areas of continental France.
We have cicadas in the southern parts of France during summer and the song of some small frogs we have in Martinique (French Caribbean territory) gives a similar vibe to our evenings.
Japan was right to be cautious about the pill. It's actually dangerous for our health in the long run but other governments so eager to control our bodies and to boost sales have recklessly encouraged teenage girls who didn't even really need it yet to start taking the pill... Without the right amount of safety information. Women should only take it while fully informed of the health risks. I love Japanese kitchen knives but it's not easy to find everywhere.
To answer your question about package delivery, hire in Canada if it’s deliver by Canada post the state company there is 2 way. If it’s too big thy will leave a notice of delivery either at your door or in your community mail box depending where you live. (Usually if you are in a main town like Montreal or Quebec they leave your mail at your door but if you live in the suburbs you usually have a community mail box spot within walking distance and you have a locked box there.) and then you have to take that notice and drive to the poste office to get the package. Usually there is a post office within a 5min drive distance.
If it is not too big they have locked box at the community box spot and they put it there and put they key to that box in your mailbox
In England if you aren't there to receive a package they will either leave it in a secure place on your property ( like round the back or in a shed) or leave it with a neighbour. If neither can be done you reschedule delivery.
It took me entirely too long to realize the source video was Rachel and Jun, which means I have definitely watched it before akfjhdskh
In my country if you are not at home when you're packege arrives it really depends on the company of how you can get your package. For instance if it's by the postal service you get a notification paper that they couldn't deliver it to your address, but you can go to your nearest post office (or the one being marked on the paper) and get it there. While delivery companies usually call you before your package is about to arrive (even give you the phone number of the person making the delviery so you can call them in advance to make adjustments). I case you weren't at home you'll be notifed of the fact and they'll try to re-deliver the next day usually.
There a lot of cicadas in Greece as well . Literally in every tree you see them , even in burnt forests you will hear them
Front end parking works when you are in a shopping center. It allows you to load your items into the trunk with ease which leads to faster exit.
9:50 Here in the Netherlands the mailman choses if he delivers it to your neighbour or takes it back, so you can inform them when you can. In both cases you get a card with the information of where they delivered it and if they delivered it in the first place.
How to get your packages when you‘re not at home in Germany:
1. They deliver it to a neighbor and leave a message in your mail box. You pick it up from there.
2. They take it to the next post office for you to pick it up from there and leave a message in your mail box.
3. They just place it in front of your front door and you have to hope that it’s not stolen until you get back.
4. (still rare) You install a giant mail box that is big enough for packages to fit in.
After being bothered by 1-3 for several years, we did no. 4 and oh my gosh, about 95% of our packages really end up being in that box. The rest is either still too big or the mail man just doesn‘t get it, because it’s still extremely uncommon.
In the US where I live they’ll usually try to deliver it again the next day and if you’re still not there to get to delivery, they leave slip for you to come to the post office and pick it up yourself
In Mexico buying thicker bread is like a “gourmet” thing, actually is kinda hard to find ticker bread in your average convenience store.
In the east coast of the United States, we also have cicadas. We have seasonal cicadas & brood cicadas. Seasonal cicadas are just like in Japan that come out ever summer, but brood cicadas come out every 10 to 20 years depending on species and location and they usually spawn in the billions for about half of summer.
Broods of cicada only come out every 7 years to mate. We have them in America and I always hear some every year in Kansas, but they're only super loud every 7 years. The in between years are either different breeds or from different broods in the USA. I think we have at least 1 or more brood(s) every summer in the USA, they're just mostly stuck to one state or area.

Package Delivery: if you´re not home, you get a notice to pick it up yourself from a post office or a shop, that has a contract with the delivering company (in a city). Rural, it mostly depends on the goodwill of the delivery person.
Bread: always normed in the thickness - different packaging still, usually when you buy less, you pay more per gramm.
In Europe (and Amerika I think), driving a car is often perceived like it´s a primary care. If the gas prices are rising you can expect it to be in every newspaper there is.
A drivers license requires approximately the same amount of money and time, but it´s very uncommon to not have it. There´s a strong general community force telling you, you´ll need it sometime, so better do it now.
Thank you for the video :)
in pennsylvania of the USA, we see and hear Cicadas every few years.
Thank you for this video. There's so much in this that isn't common in other countries. It would take a very long email to point it out, point by point.
My mom taught me to drive over 2 weeks. Got my license the first try. Easy to get your license in the US, if you can drive.
On the German highway (Autobahn) you don't have to pay to use the road.
I think tax money is used to maintain the roads.
packages dont matter. most companies will just leave it on the step even if your not home. becoming more common everyday not to need a signature
In usa, they will redeliver with the the next regular trip to you, or you can sometimes go pick it up at the mail center. If they try to deliver a few times and miss you though, they will return the package to the mailer instead of delivering it to you.
In the US they leave you a slip in the mail box you can call to have it redelivered on another day or oh you go pick it up the post office. If it's a delivery service they will redeliver it the next day depending on what time you call them.
When I was growing up in Japan the construction barriers were not characters.
Depending on the store you can ask them to slice The Artisan breads they sell. And some Brands offer different thicknesses. Sandwich usually refers to a certain thickness which is usually slightly thinner.
Here in BC Canada it takes 3 years to get a full license, so a couple weeks or month is amazing.
First is a knowledge test and then you get your Learner's license which includes a mandatory [L] magnet for the car.
Then 12 months of accompanied driving later you can get tested and get your Novice license with a mandatory [N] magnet for the car.
Then 2 years after that you can test for your proper license.
I want to travel to Japan so freakin bad..... 😭
If you put dry ice and fruit in a sealed container you can have fizzy fruit!! But it’s so expensive here :(
In Turkey, the mailman leaves a note stating they came by so you have to go the postal office and pick it up yourself. Some mailmen are so lazy they will leave the note without even knocking as many people who were at home at the time recive the same note.
In Argentina if the mail can't deliver your package, it will go to the nearest central post office where you'll have to go get it yourself.
