We design and make decorative glass for various applications. Our studios facilities enable us to fuse glass, paint, stain & enamel, acid etch, sandblast, engrave, brilliant cut and lead work using the traditional methods. We also restore damaged church stained glass according to the UKIC (United Kingdom Institute of Conservation) guidelines.
Our trading name was established in 2001 but between us we have decades of experience working in glass with various companies across Britain. Many have written about us in the press and featured on TV.
We especially welcome unusual projects which require a design solution in glass which is why we have a wide and varied Portfolio. There are a lot of new glass techniques which can be combined with old methods making a unique and fresh visual impact.
We also work directly with Artists to help realise projects in glass. To see a few examples see the Portfolio.
All our products meet British safety regulations at whatever scale. We have worked in churches, towers, boats (including super yachts), listed buildings, office spaces and houses large and small. We are proud to have used a neutral carbon electricity supplier for over 18 years (GOOG ENERGY) we hope that in the future everyone will eventually get their power from carbon neural power companies.
If you would like to discuss a project or would like a quote then please get in touch. In order to price the work we need the sizes, an idea of design and the technique to be used such as traditional leaded glass or etched or fused glass etc.

What is Sustainable Energy and Why Must We all Convert to it
28/07/2021 19/07/2021 by Tom van Oosterhout
What is sustainable energy? The common, yet rather simple definition is that an energy source is sustainable when it does not jeopardize the energy sources of future generations. Fossil fuels are an example of an energy source that will not be available for future generations.
Since March 2020 we have 8 solar panels on the south side of the roof of our house. The computer of the system informs us that we saved 3,4 tonnes of CO2. Moreover, we saved almost 800 euros on our energy bill. The excess energy we produce with our solar panels is transferred to the national electricity grid, for which we get a fee.
A friend of ours has built solar panels on the roof of his camper.
There are more alternative, sustainable energy sources, such as wind turbines and geothermal energy. The necessity of energy is reduced with the isolation of buildings, and the use of public transportation. Hybrid and electric cars also reduce the total demand for energy. These are all alternatives we can implement ourselves.

When we lift a stone from the ground, the energy of the movement of our muscles transforms the gravitational energy of the earth to the stone. The power of our movement stored the gravitational power of the earth in the stone. When we release the stone, we also release the gravitational powers stored in the stone, which powers make the stone drop back to the ground.
This means that as long as energy is stored – we don't move, the stone is not lifted, the gravitational powers of the earth are not challenged – nothing happens. No energy is released.
Another example is when the sun shines on our house all day the house gets really hot. The energy of the rays of the sun is transferred to and stored in the stones of our house. As long as the sun shines, we hardly notice this.
However, when the temperature goes down during the evening, the heat of the stones of the house is transferred to the outside air. When we sit close to the house we can feel the heat radiating from the stones of the house into the air.

Energy is all about the transfer of power from one object to another. No energy is ever lost. This is nice yet also causes many problems when the energy is stored in such a way that it disturbs the energy balance within a limited ecosystem such as the earth's atmosphere.
The best known, and at the same time most dreaded, example is the warming of the earth's atmosphere due to the overuse of fossil fuels. The overheating of the earth's atmosphere causes the climate to change with catastrophic consequences.
Compare it with the example of the sun rays heating the stones of our house. When we burn fossil fuels to power combustible engines, such as the one in our car, the excess energy of the burning of these fuels is released as heat to the outside air. This heat warms up the earth's atmosphere.
Moreover, during the burning of fossil fuels, CO2 is released which traps the energy of infrared light near the surface of the earth. As a consequence, the surface and the lower atmosphere are warmed up even more.
The lifetime of CO2 increases, the more CO2 enters the atmosphere. It takes many thousands of years for the effects of CO2 to decrease after human-made CO2 emissions stopped. Human-made CO2 emissions cover 70% of the world's current CO2 emissions.
The rising CO2 levels also cause acidification of ocean waters. CO2 mixed with water produces carbonic acid, which disables sea life. Scientific estimates predict that by the year 2100 marine ecosystems will be seriously disrupted.
We distinguish two types of alternative and sustainable energy sources, active and passive ones. The active ones are our solar panels. Other active ones mentioned are wind and geothermal energy.
The passive one discussed here is the use of a hybrid or electric car. Energy used by the car is passive because this energy is not produced by the car. The car only consumes energy.

The solar energy absorbed in one hour by the earth's soil, waters, clouds, and atmosphere, is more than the amount of energy humans produce worldwide in one year. This enormous amount of energy can be, and is, used in many different ways.
The most simple way is to use the sun to heat water in panels. This heated water is used for all types of personal and domestic activities. In contrast, solar panels produce electricity. The advantage of water and solar panels is that they fit on every possible roof. The investment will also always pay off. Certainly against the ever-rising fossil fuel prices.
In Spain, there are a lot of solar panel parks. Usually on deserted stretches of barren land. This is rather strange because there are many open-air car parks next to malls and supermarkets and close to city centers which could use some shade. Why not make it a win-win situation?
Where we live is a lot of sun. So water and solar panels can be found on rooftops. And although there is also almost always a lot of wind, there are not many wind turbines. Not on residential rooftops, nor near agricultural or industrial areas.
The region where we live is windy because it is close to the sea. When the land and water temperatures are somewhat in balance in the mornings, there is not much wind. But from 12:00 pm onward, the wind increases.
It's a pity that no proper and affordable home wind turbines exist yet. They could be a very profitable and sustainable supplement to our solar panels. During the nights, the weather is usually windy enough to produce the energy we miss, due to a lack of sunshine. With foul weather, during the daytime, the wind also is strong enough to produce the energy we need.

This we have only seen in The Netherlands. Probably because it is seen as an expensive and complicated system.
Applied to one residential property, the price of a geothermal installation is probably indeed too high at the moment.
However, geothermal energy production on a large scale is already competitive with the electric prices of nuclear and other fossil fuel sources.
Since geothermal electricity is best produced on the borders of tectonic plates, it's rather surprising this type of energy production is not used in Spain on a large scale.
Hybrid and electric cars
The best way to go from A to B is on foot or by bicycle. This keeps you fit and healthy. In modern society, where the car and the energy industry have determined city planning, walking and cycling are a risky, if not totally impossible, effort.
So, the second-best way is by public transport. I very much enjoy public transport. But shopping for our daily groceries is impossible with public transport, or on foot or by bike. This is why I only shop once a week, in the car.
We don't have a hybrid or electric car, yet. This requires a substantial investment. There has been a time when governments subsidized the purchase of a hybrid or electric car. This is no longer the case. Probably because the demand quickly depleted the available funds.
For us, an electric car would be ideal, because we could charge the car's batteries with the energy of our solar panels. Thus adding a storage facility to the panels, when excess energy is produced by the panels.
We can all convert to sustainable energy
It's obvious, from the previous explanations, that conversion to sustainable energy is possible for everyone. Those who live in apartment buildings should collectively put solar panels on their roof. If only because this is an excellent way to cut back on the energy bill.
Tenants should pressure their landlords to invest in alternative and sustainable energy. Governments can encourage such investments with subsidies. The possibilities at the moment are infinite. Which is for the best, because fossil fuels are not infinite.
Moreover, these fuels cause too much damage. Every year almost 9 million people worldwide die prematurely of the consequences of air pollution. This pollution is predominantly caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Let's change this, and change it for the better.

6 thoughts on "What is Sustainable Energy and Why Must We all Convert to it"
Hi Tom, I have been thinking and reading quite a lot about sustainable energy, and I find it still a somehow tricky topic. Because there are many different voices about energy power, you know that we have in the Netherlands a lot of wind, water, and solar energy.
Fortunately, we received solar energy on our roof, even we rent the house. Our energy bill dropped, and we got much money back.
Still, they use a lot of gas for heating and cooking here, which I wasn't used to because we cook mainly on electric energy in Germany, where I come from.
I read an article that made me think. Countries like South Korea and Japan already use many electric cars, and their whole infrastructure is made of electrical supply. In these cities, life has become very stressful due to the enormous electrical pollution. People suffer from all kinds of symptoms.
What left me puzzled is that people from a region in Russia have written a petition to Elon Musk because he had difficulties finding enough nickel for his batteries, asking the industry to get him a nickel. They did, destroying and polluting whole areas, leaving people in toxic environments. This is something I don't want!
Also, in the States of America, they bury the wings and panels of the windmills and solar panels in the ground, creating huge dumping places to eliminate the waste coming from these energy sources. This makes me believe that they have created more opportunities for big business instead of saving the planet.
I am going to do more research for sustainable energy. 🙂 Thank you very much for your interesting article! It makes me think even more.
Tom van Oosterhout
Hi Sylvia,
Thank you for your comment and your compliments.
More in general, sustainability is a tricky topic. That is just because energy is always involved.
One way or the other, we will have to reduce our use of fossil fuels. There is a limit to the amount of fossil fuels, and they contaminate the environment.
Nuclear energy is an almost infinite energy source, but it is also infinitely contaminating the environment.
Wind, water, thermal, and solar energy are the most sustainable energy sources. However, the energy these sources produce will always have to be extracted with some kind of device. As long as these devices are not designed from cradle to cradle, the energy from these sources is not sustainable.
It is as if we're walking around in circles. This is, for example, because there is a political and economic controversion between 'small-is-beautiful' advocates and those that earn their money with large-scale energy production (gas, coal, nuclear).
On a small scale, energy sources can often change to sustainable overnight. We partly changed to solar panels. This is good for the environment and good for our wallet. A good friend of mine, who knows way more about sustainability, says that for solar panels new recycling methods are being developed. Let's hope these will be implemented soon.
For now, stay safe, stay healthy.
Henk van Dijkhuizen
Hi Tom, Thank you for your article! Very interesting, and I have to admit that I belong to the people who are not very interested in these things. But for sure, it is essential to choose a form of sustainable energy source, and I have enjoyed reading your article, because I learned very much. Of course, I see all the solar panels and windmills, but where my energy is coming from wasn't so important for me. Now I see this topic different after reading your post. Using green energy is certainly good for our wallet, and for the climate. The warming up is very dangerous! In Germany in The Netherlands we had the floods, now the fires in Turkey and Algerie. We need certainly all convert to sustainable energy, and I am open for it! Thank you very much, Tom!
Regards, Henk
Hi Henk,
Thank you for your comment and compliments.
I am glad I could assist your awareness. Because you're right, in view of climate change we need to convert to sustainability.
Primarily when it comes to energy. The big question at the moment is whether we are able to curb our growing energy appetite.
Curbing this appetite is required until we've come up with a proper sustainable energy source. Preferably an energy source that will absorb CO2 as well.
In the meantime, stay safe and stay healthy.
We're in the process of buying the land for our future home and I couldn't be more excited! We plan to insulate the walls, install double-glazed windows and to use solar panels. It will be one hell of a trip but I can't wait to start building my dream home. I want to make it as sustainable as possible, do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!
Great plans you've got. Another suggestion is to build a provision to intercept and contain all the water coming down from your roof when it rains.
When you need any type of central heating in your house, make it electric floor heating. It's also wise to install some batteries to collect the surplus electricity of the solar panels.
You might also collect this surplus electricity in the batteries of a hybrid or electric car.

Keeping the peace in West Africa.
Traveling with the U.N. blue helmets in Sierra Leone and Liberia.
Click here for a slide show of images from Sierra Leone and Liberia.
I went to Sierra Leone and Liberia in October and November of 2003 on a Pew international journalism fellowship, spending six weeks shooting a documentary film on what it means to be a U.N. peacekeeper. I began my trip in Sierra Leone, where the United Nations is currently in a slow withdrawal after a four-year presence as the largest peacekeeping mission in the world. Although the United Nations sent a mission into Sierra Leone in 1999, the country's decadelong civil war was not declared over until January 2002. Sierra Leone has been "calm and stable" for nearly two years now, but overall living conditions for most people still leave much to be desired, and some worry that the country might slide back into chaos when the United Nations pulls out in December 2004.
I went briefly to Liberia because it is impossible to separate the wars of Sierra Leone and Liberia since Liberia's leader, Charles Taylor, was a driving force behind the war in Sierra Leone, and the combatants flowed back and forth across the borders from one country to the other. While the United Nations is winding down its operations in Sierra Leone, the U.N. presence is ramping up in Liberia. The United Nations is waiting for its allotment of 15,000 troops to reach the country, expected some time this spring. The atmosphere in Liberia was charged and tense, and it has since become even more edgy, with riots in the capital and the postponement of disarmament until January. We were fortunate to ride with U.N. Force Commander Daniel Opande on a day of helicopter patrols—an effort to curtail renegade militia pillaging the provinces. Until he has enough manpower on the ground, Opande will be spending much of his time putting out fires like these.
My photographer, Rob Peterson, came for two weeks to help capture the story of Sierra Leone and Liberia, a vast narrative that these images only begin to tell.

Elena Ostleitner (* 15. Juni 1947 in Caracas, Venezuela; † 8. Mai 2021 in Mistelbach, Österreich) war eine österreichische Musiksoziologin, Hochschullehrerin, Pianistin und Verlegerin. Sie lebte in Strasshof bei Wien.

Leben und Wirken
Christina Elena Ostleitner geb. Gathmann wurde in Caracas, Venezuela, geboren, wohin ihre Vorfahren aus Pforzheim und Zagreb ausgewandert waren. Als sie sieben Jahre alt war, brachte ihre Mutter sie nach Wien, wo sie bei ihren Großeltern mütterlicherseits und nach deren Rückkehr aus Venezuela bei ihrer Mutter aufwuchs. Sie erhielt Klavierunterricht und studierte ab 1960 Klavier an der Wiener Musikakademie (heute Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien) bei Marianne Lauda und Renate Kramer-Preisenhammer (Vorbereitung) sowie ab 1963 bei Hans Graf (Konzertfach). Kompositionsunterricht erhielt sie bei Alfred Uhl. 1970 begann sie an der Universität Wien ein Soziologiestudium, das sie 1974 abschloss. Von 1975 bis zu ihrer Pensionierung 2010 forschte und lehrte Elena Ostleitner als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin und ab 2002 als außerordentliche Professorin an der Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien im  Institut für Musiksoziologie, dem ersten Institut dieser Art in Europa, das 1965 von Kurt Blaukopf gegründet und bis 1984 auch von ihm geleitet wurde. Sie unterrichtete außerdem viele Jahre Musiksoziologie als Lehrbeauftragte an der Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst Salzburg "Mozarteum". Ihre ab 1990 gehaltene Lehrveranstaltung "Frau und Musik" gilt als Pioniertat und mit ihren Arbeiten auf dem Gebiet der Frauenforschung setzte sie Maßstäbe.

Ihre Arbeitsschwerpunkte lagen neben der Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung in der Musik in der historischen wie in der empirischen Forschung und in der Musikpädagogik. 1996 promovierte sie mit einer Arbeit "Zur Situation des Orchesternachwuchses in Österreich" an der Universität Wien. Sie arbeitete außerdem in der Exilforschung, über lateinamerikanische Musik, funktionale Musik und auf dem Gebiet der Hymnologie. Im Bereich der Frauenforschung organisierte sie fünf internationale Symposien mit großer Strahlkraft: 1996 über Clara Schumann anlässlich des 100. Todestags der Künstlerin; 2001 und 2009 über die Komponistinnen Dora Pejačević und Markgräfin Wilhelmine von Bayreuth sowie 2005 und 2009 über Komponistinnen und Musikerinnen um Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart und Josef Haydn. Sie war national und international  als Vortragende sowie als Beraterin und Gutachterin für Politiker und Hochschulen tätig. 1999 gründete sie in Strasshof den "Vier-Viertel-Verlag", in dem sie eine CD-Edition und die Musikschriftenreihe "Frauentöne" sowie belletristische Werke herausgab.

Für die Chancengleichheit von Musikerinnen war sie auch gesellschaftspolitisch aktiv. Ganz besonders setzte sie sich für die Einstellung von Frauen in Berufsorchestern wie den Wiener Philharmonikern ein. Großes Aufsehen erregte ihr Eintreten für die Zulassung von Frauen zum Probespiel in der Wiener Staatsoper. Die Wiener Philharmoniker nahmen bis 1997 keine Musikerinnen als vollwertige Mitglieder auf.

Ab 1985 übernahm Elena Ostleitner beratende Funktionen in Gremien der Stadt Wien sowie für die damalige erste österreichische Bundesfrauenministerin Johanna Dohnal; sie wirkte mit im "Frauenprojekte-Beirat" der Stadt Wien und war 2004 Mitglied des Kulturbeirats der Stadt Graz sowie 2002 bis 2005 Jurymitglied und -sprecherin des österreichischen Frauenkunstpreises im Parlament. Sie war außerdem langjähriges Vorstandsmitglied und ab 1995 Vizepräsidentin des österreichischen Lateinamerika-Instituts, 1996/97 die erste Präsidentin der Internationalen Ignaz Joseph Pleyel Gesellschaft und Vizepräsidentin des 1. Frauen-Kammerorchesters von Österreich. Von 1991 bis 2003 war sie Vorsitzende des Arbeitskreises für Gleichbehandlungsfragen der Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien. Ihr Anliegen war es, für ein Klima der Toleranz zu sorgen und persönlich wie politisch für eine gerechtere Gesellschaft einzutreten.

Elena Ostleitner war von 1972 bis 1981 mit dem Ökonom Herbert Ostleitner verheiratet und hat einen Sohn, den politischen Referenten Alexander Ostleitner.

Auszeichnungen
Für ihr wissenschaftliches, pädagogisches und gesellschaftspolitisches Wirken wurde sie ausgezeichnet. 2005 erhielt sie das Österreichische Ehrenkreuz für Wissenschaft und Kunst – die Laudatio hielt der Vorstand der Wiener Philharmoniker, Clemens Hellsberg. Sie erhielt 2009 einen Anerkennungspreis zum Liese-Prokop-Frauenpreis und war Ehrenmitglied der International Alliance for Women in Music (IAWM).

Confianza ciega es el nombre de un reality show que fue emitido por la cadena española Antena 3 en 2002. El programa, presentado por Francine Gálvez, se grabó en verano de 2001 en Portugal y se emitió entre el 27 de enero y el 20 de abril de 2002. En el año 2004 fue rescatado por Cosmopolitan TV que hizo su propio montaje, más corto, en 11 episodios y un epílogo. En 2020, tras un acuerdo de Amazon y Zeppelin TV, Confianza Ciega también se difunde a través de la plataforma en streaming Amazon Prime Video, con el montaje inicial de Antena 3.
Posteriormente a la emisión del programa se emitía un debate conducido por Juan Ramón Lucas, con comentaristas conocidos como Juan y Medio o Lydia Lozano.

Formato
Consistía en separar a los integrantes de 4 parejas sentimentales en dos casas diferentes. Por un lado, la azul para los chicos y, por otro, la amarilla para las chicas, donde eran tentados.

Se les puso a prueba de dos formas. Por una parte, resistiéndose a los encantos de los seductores y seductoras que les acompañan en sus casas. Por otra, manteniendo su confianza en su pareja al visionar vídeos de la estancia de sus respectivas parejas, sin saber si estos estaban manipulados o no. El premio era tan simple como consolidar la relación si se superaba la prueba del programa, al mantener la confianza, y una cantidad en metálico.

Confianza ciega (2002)
La edición fue dirigida por Roberto Ontiveros y presentada por Francine Gálvez. Además, los debates fueron presentados por Juan Ramón Lucas y dirigidos por Pedro Rodríguez Gómez.

Participantes

Resumen
Aunque llegaran hasta la final, Nube y Rafa decidieron acabar su relación, ya que el seductor Óscar hizo mella en la chica argentina. Por su parte, la pareja formada por Luis y María José se arrepintió de haber entrado en el programa, ya que no era como ellos habían pensado, por lo que abandonaron. Sus sustitutos, Jon y Mónica, llevados por la pasión de sus respectivos enfados, decidieron también abandonar para aclarar sus problemas fuera del programa. Finalmente, la pareja ganadora resultó ser la originaria de León, Carolina e Israel, ya que fueron los únicos que no se dejaron tentar por la seducción en el programa y que se mantuvieron hasta el final del mismo.

Death of the Free Web, June 4, 2001. This overview links readers to a series of articles that will be available over the course of three consecutive days. The focus is the growing transition away from free content and services on the Web toward fee-based models. Today's article titles reflect a scenario that may await us right around the corner, in which the digital divide continues to expand, and information is once again a commodity accessible only to those who can afford to pay for it. Direct links to the articles are as follows: Gated communities on the horizon; A segregation of information feared; Blind faith in traffic as Web currency.
Paid Placement is Catching on in Web Searches, June 4, 2001. After trying several different business models, none of which lead to profitability, GoTo.com has landed on the upside of the e-commerce downturn. They provide search results to some of the major portal sites, and charge Web sites for top ranking in search results. Using this increasingly common practice, decisions about what is relevant to your request are weighted on the side of those sites that paid fees, rather than an unbiased evaluation of site content.

On May 23, the EEOC ruled in favor of twelve librarians at the Minneapolis Public Library's central branch who claimed they were exposed to a hostile work environment as a result of public access to pornography via the library's computers.

Owning the Future: Looting the Library, June 1, 2001. This provocative article has a parallel theme to the recent book, Double Fold, mentioned in the Newstand last month. In this author's opinion, however, it is publishers, not the librarians, who are the villains. Their purpose is to eliminate libraries by instituting a pay-per-access model for all current information, and their primary means of achieving this goal is through relentless attacks against fair use provisions of the copyright law.

Title: Phosphorous dynamics in periodically flooded and drained riparian soils
Author: Rose, Michael
The aim of the research was to evaluate the processes that determine P stability in riparian floodplain soils, with emphasis on chemical transformations in flood-drained calcareous soil. Flooding of soil columns showed an increase in P solubility (from 0.01 to 1.2 μg ml-1) largely due to the reductive dissolution of Fe minerals (solution Fe increased from < 0.05 to > 50 μg ml-1) and increased solubility of Ca-P minerals (solution Ca increased from < 100 to > 1000 μg ml-1). The periodic drainage of the flooded soil exported the equivalent of approximately O.l5 kg ha-1 (over six flood-drain cycles). Exported P correlated with soil solution P immediately before drainage (r2 = 0.99; P < 0.001). After drainage, there was a reversal of the reactions described above, with solution Fe, Ca and P returning to preflooding levels. Over the course of the 6 flood-drain cycles inorganic P became more stable, with Ca-P and Fe-P pools increasing (from 9 and 11 % respectively both to 14 % of TP) at the expense of labile pools. Similar patterns of P release and retention were observed during batch incubation studies of aerobic - anaerobic cycles using moist soil samples. Solution P and Fe were strongly correlated in both non-calcareous (r2 = 0.96) and calcareous (r2 = 0.73) soils. The role of Ca-P mineral solubility was disguised by the dissolution of calcium carbonate. Drying of the soil can lead to P release on re-wetting (up to eight-fold). This is most likely due to a release of P from ruptured microbial cells and transformations of Fe mineral surfaces. Monitoring suggested that all of these processes were active in the field, as the water table advanced and receded, though more slowly than in the laboratory. Over a four month flood-drain cycle losses of dissolved P from the floodplain were estimated at 0.034 kg ha-1. It is unlikely that this is significant relative to upstream inputs of P to the river from point sources and other types of agricultural land in the River Thames catchment.

Tanjung Kurung is een bestuurslaag in het regentschap Muara Enim van de provincie Zuid-Sumatra, Indonesië. Tanjung Kurung telt 1963 inwoners (volkstelling 2010).

Plaats in Zuid-Sumatra


Heading to a new country is always fun. In 2015, we visited Tokyo, Japan for the first time. We loved it so much that.... in 2016 we decided to go again.
Over the two visits we cumulated several cultural things that we always tell everyone who decide to vacation there next. Tokyo is easily one of our favourite cities - its culture is incredibly charming, the technological quirks of the city will blow your mind and the city is always bustling with energy. For a first timer though, we know how confusing and overwhelming it can be. Read on to hear what we learned.
Space is rare and precious in such a populous city - most restaurants contain enough seating for just 10 people. In North America, our experience of eating normally consists of chattering over shared dishes and if you're eating alone, it's typically at home. However, in Tokyo, as we were out dining, we began to notice one thing in common with most restaurants - people come, eat and go... alone! In Japan, it's a different vibe. Most restaurants are made to eat-and-go and it is extremely common to see a businessman come in, quickly inhale a bowl of ramen and then leave - all in under 30 minutes.
The first picture above is Ichiran, a popular ramen shop in Japan that promotes "low-interaction dining" where customers seat themselves, fill out their order on a sheet of paper and receive their food from a pair of hands through the booth window. In other words, it's encouraged to eat an entire meal without seeing or speaking to another human being - service included.
Unlike the TTC, it's considered rude and inconsiderate in Tokyo to be speaking loudly to your friends or on your phone when you're on the subway. You'll actually see signs on the subway that say to turn off your phone or switch it to silent. The silence will be deafening at first - people talking in hushed whispers or low murmurs but you get used it very quickly!
Our major tip for the subway is NEVER travel during rush hour times (around 7 - 9am and 5 -7pm). Subways in Tokyo have less seating areas and waaaay more standing room and you'll see why during rush hour. While it didn't happen to us, you may be pushed by a policeman onto a seemingly packed subway if you travel during rush hours.
The more enclosed a place is, the more likely you'll be allowed to smoke. If you want to smoke on the street, there are designated smoking areas and rooms for you to do so. While there isnt a country-wide smoking ban, smoking on the street is prohibited in certain parts of Tokyo because of child safety. People who smoke typically hold their cigarettes at their chest or waist - which is around the same level of kids heights or people in wheelchairs. Combine that with the high population density of the city where you're pushing up against others and you can see why the on-street ban makes sense!
While you can't smoke outside, you CAN drink alcohol on the streets - although most respectful people will choose to drink in establishments instead of on the streets.
For such a busy and crowded city, it's incredibly clean. Absolutely spotless. Yet, when you look to discard your onigiri wrapper, you realise there are NO trash cans around. None. Why? Apparently the lack of trash cans began as an anti-terrorism measure back in '95 when terrorists were putting bombs in trash cans. Now, trash cans are rare and sparse but you won't see anyone littering. You'll even see people putting even banana peels, cigarette butts and wrappers into their bags to throw out later. It's both shocking contrast to the littered Toronto streets but it is a beautiful habit.
Whether you're looking for an AirBNB or hotel, find somewhere that offers pocket Wi-Fi - basically a small wireless router. Not only are SIM cards difficult to get in Japan if you don't speak the language, but having a pocket Wi-Fi allows for multiple people to connect to the web with you.
In North American culture, slurping might be considered noisy and obnoxious. But, slurping isn't rude in Japan (or in many parts of Asia for that matter!). When you enter a ramen restaurant, you'll hear the sounds of loud slurping everywhere around you. Instead of being known as bad manners, slurping noodles is like paying compliments to the chef - it is evidence of enjoying the meal.
Seriously - don't. Even if you think you are being generous, you will get chased down the street and be given any extra leftover cash that you may have left on the table with good intentions. A good rule of thumb is just to not tip, no matter how odd it feels. Just politely thank your server or taxi driver with a smile and leave.
We don't even glance at convenience stores when we're in Toronto but in Tokyo, we hit the convenience store almost every day. They're much more than just repositories of junk food! The holy trifecta of convenience stores that nearly every one goes to are: Family Mart, Lawsons and 7-11. From alcohol (and hangover cures) to insane chip flavours to sushi and soba, you can find anything at the convenience stores. If you're using the Suica or Pasmo transportation cards, you can fill it up there as well!
It WILL rain when you're in Japan (it always did when we went anyways). We don't know exactly why most umbrellas we saw were clear but our guess is that it has something to do with Tokyo's high population density. The transparent umbrellas make it much easier to see without having to lift up the umbrella while you're walking through big, tightly packed crowds during rush hours.
One thing you absolutely cannot miss on the streets of Tokyo are the seemingly endless amounts of vending machines. Think of ANYTHING and you'll likely be able to get it from a vending machine. We've seen machines with underwear, hot instant ramen noodles, cold and hot coffee - even bento boxes! If you're hungry after a late night out and there's no where to buy food - look for vending machines!

Calling Out China
News: World News
by Bradley Eli, M.Div., Ma.Th. • ChurchMilitant.com • May 15, 2020
But not at the Vatican
VATICAN CITY (ChurchMilitant.com) - As outcry mounts against China for allowing the Wuhan virus to spread, faithful Catholics are wondering why the Vatican won't speak out.
Attorneys general from 18 states (AGs) are now calling on Congress to investigate China's role in spreading the COVID-19 pandemic. Their letter on Saturday referenced recent condemnations of China by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
"In what Secretary of State Pompeo has described as a 'classic communist disinformation effort,' the Chinese government, aided by the World Health Organization, appears to have intentionally misled the world over the last six months," said the AGs.
Vatican 'Politics' Muzzles Prelates
Asked why the Vatican doesn't speak out on China's role in causing more than 300 thousand deaths worldwide, China expert Steven Mosher told Church Militant it comes down to Vatican politics.
"The Sino-Vatican Agreement signed 20 months ago comes up for renewal on Sept. 22 of this year," said Mosher. "The Vatican's secretary of state, Cdl. Pietro Parolin, appears to be interested in renewing it, thus the silence about CCP [Chinese Communist Party] responsibility for the origin and spread of the deadly plague."
The AG's letter was addressed to both the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, along with notable congressional leaders. It focuses on ever-increasing evidence pointing to China's complicity in not only spreading the pandemic but also rendering other nations helpless to defend against it.
'Willful' Concealment
"Recent reports suggest that the communist Chinese government willfully and knowingly concealed information about the severity of the virus while simultaneously stockpiling personal protective equipment," the AGs noted.
The letter detailed China's following "layers of deceit" that began as the virus emerged there in December:
Censoring Chinese health officials
Muzzling Taiwanese complaints
Expelling media outlets
Targeting the western world with disinformation
Pompeo nailed China during a State Department news conference on May 6. He affirmed that China did, in fact, know about the emerging pandemic yet did nothing to stop it from spreading worldwide.
They knew. China could have prevented the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.
"They knew. China could have prevented the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. China could have spared the world descent into global economic malaise," declared Pompeo.
He added, "China is still refusing to share the information we need to keep people safe."
'Enormous' Evidence: Drones, Hacking
On May 3, Pompeo told ABC's This Week that the evidence against China is "enormous."
"I can tell you that there is a significant amount of evidence that this came from that laboratory in Wuhan," he confirmed.
The letter from the 18 AGs further revealed that China's propaganda efforts include "suspicious gifts of drones to state, as well as 'educational' grants to American universities connected to the Wuhan Institute of Virology."
Regarding American research into the Wuhan virus, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security are accusing the People's Republic of China of cyber hacking. The joint statement on Wednesday stated that China's hacking was endangering the development of a treatment for the virus.
"The FBI is investigating the targeting and compromise of U.S. organizations conducting COVID-19-related research by PRC-affiliated cyber actors and non-traditional collectors," read the joint announcement.
"The potential theft of this information jeopardizes the delivery of secure, effective, and efficient treatment options," it added.
Vatican's 'Kid Gloves' for China
Yet, in the face of China's past and present actions that continue endangering lives, the Vatican keeps its eerie silence.
This pontificate has treated the CCP with kid gloves from the beginning.
Mosher says it's nothing new for the current pontificate to ignore the CCP's human rights violations in hopes of political gain. Such hopes, he added, were completely unfounded:
More broadly, this pontificate has treated the CCP with kid gloves from the beginning, apparently in the hope that Pope Francis will one day be invited to visit China. This is, in my opinion, highly unlikely to happen. The CCP is determined to stamp out religious sentiment in China, not encourage it by having the leader of the world's largest organized religious body visit.
Kiboshing China-Partner WHO
President Donald Trump in April put a freeze on funding earmarked for the World Health Organization (WHO) for being complicit with China in allowing the pandemic to spread. Trump made good on his promise to "put a very powerful hold" on money thrown at WHO. The president announced on April 14 that he was putting a "60-to-90-day" freeze on funding while the White House reviews the agency's suspicious response at the start of the pandemic.
Trump asserted WHO was "China-centric" and its decisions helped spread the virus.
Mosher told Church Militant in April that the director of WHO was China's man. He called out WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who has been outed as pro-communist with a history of covering up epidemics.
"Tedros is a corrupt Ethiopian politician who works for China, not for the welcoming of the world's population," said Mosher.
Repercussions In the Works
Already in March, the U.S. House of Representatives drafted a resolution demanding the Chinese government accept full responsibility for the global pandemic owing to its mishandling of the Wuhan virus.
The resolution stated that China's "mistakes" include "the Chinese government's intentional spread of misinformation to downplay the risks of the virus, a refusal to cooperate with international health authorities, internal censorship of doctors and journalists, and malicious disregard for the health of ethnic minorities."
The AGs, however, declared their intention to take further legal action. Their letter took note of a lawsuit filed by Missouri's Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who sued the CCP in April. In their letter, the AGs warned that "many of us are considering similar legal actions."
