Driving in Japan

I'm obsessed with the Japanese "Baby in Car" signs. They are like the "Baby on Board" signs that were popular in the US in the '80s, but, like everything in Japan, funnier, or at the very least, cuter. This one has a baby with a scarf - he looks like he's flying.

Everyone knows that you drive on the wrong side here in Japan, but what really makes it difficult to drive and nagivate is all the stuff all around. The Japanese almost never bury any of their wiring, so everything is hanging everywhere. Like this small intersection. It's really hard, for me anyway, to focus on the important things, like lights and signs. I haven't yet (and probably never will) get used to this!
