wandering around town looking for the perfect place to furiously type on a laptop about all the places around town where you took out your laptop and furiously typed away about the places around town where you took out your laptop

I should probably be taking "hiking the historic nakasendo with my new gf" with a grain of salt but congratulations on meeting a girl in 2025

If you ever take the expressway in Japan, blue gates are for ETC only, green gates you can pay with cash. Most major routes do give the option of both. I think I've only encountered ETC-only gates going into Omiya.

ah, someone had told me that in practice you can't pay with cash at the green gates either, though it did seem odd there'd be no cash option knowing how much they love cash in japan...

There are a lot of cashless payment methods available in Japan these days, but I appreciate that they're presented as other options rather than forcefully phase out cash.

i was impressed by how many places take credit card now... last time i couldn't even get mcdonald's to take one... it is kind of annoying how the number of cashless payment app options has proliferated so much that stores now display signs showing like 50 tiny logos for payment options

however, it is possible to style XML files using CSS to make them appear like html webpages, and if you upload or change an XML file it will not generate a thumbnail or appear on the feed
