Japan seems like a wonderful place. Food in package or store has to look like the advertised pictures, people follow social norms, they have great public transportation, strict sense of family and career importance, and it's beautiful. I know it's crazy expensive and cramped, people are getting isolated by technology etc but it really just seems like a wonderful culture and country.

We often overlook the everyday products and services we rely on, until one surprises us with an unexpectedly brilliant feature. Whether it’s a hidden detail or a smart design choice, these little touches can offer real comfort or even save the day. Here are some clever examples of ordinary things made extraordinary by thoughtful design.
1. “I made this coat hanger for a gynecologist that was retiring.”
- “I just crossed my legs a little tighter looking at this...” © **Lightning*** / Reddit
2. “This elevator in Japan has an emergency toilet.”
3. “This theatre has a ‘cry room.’”
- “This isn’t a place to cry. It’s a room for parents of young children. It’s soundproofed and the occupants can watch the movie through a window. You still have to cry in your car like the rest of us.” © ramos**** / Reddit
4. “Set of stools at a burger place.”
5. “Umbrella stand.”
6. “I made this coat rack today and I’m really proud of it!”
7. “This straw wrapper flower served at a Japanese restaurant.”
8. “The toilet paper in Peru has a smaller paper roll in its center, to be taken on trips/purse!”
9. “My local ice cream shop has plastic skirts for their cones that catch the melted ice cream.”

I'd love those for my niece who is the sweetest but soooo sticky and clumsy!
