Pooping is Universal

It is always easy to assume that there are more differences among people than there are similarities.

That is, until you have some basic, essential, human traits to look at.

People here in Japan like to jog. Some of them walk to the subway to get to work and some take a cab. Some get a cup of tea to take on the subway and some get a Tully:s Coffee. Some of them look happy and some of them look depressed.

However, if you have a dog you have to pick up poop.

The first sign is from the huge city of Tokyo, where you may suspect that dog doodoo is a major issue (actually it is a very clean city and everyone has very small dogs, so poops are very little). This second picture is far more phenomenal. It is right outside of a shrine on a very, very small island very far away from Tokyo. Why would anyone let their animal poop in a shrine?

People are strange, no matter where you are. And dogs need a good place to poop!!!!
