    Salted herring and tuna broccoli salad is the ideal breakfast πŸ‘ Japan has already won me over.

    Other Western tourists are eyeing the options with great suspicion!

      My Suica has been vandalised!

      It transpires this has a leuco rewritable coating, so special products (like this 1 day season) are literally lasered onto the front (including a map!) and overwritten/removed once used.

      Extremely extra but very cool. I've never seen one of these in the wild before.

      Rewritable Laser System | Global | Ricoh

      [Ricoh Global Official Website] Ricoh has established a technology that can rewrite physical distribution labels pasted on tote containers with no contact and at high speed about 1,000 times. The labels can be used repeatedly for five years or more under severe outdoor conditions; this contributes greatly to reduced environmental impact and cost. (The rewritable laser system is available only in Japan at the moment.)

                          @hugh Cool!
                          It reminds me of my uni card in Germany. Every 6 months I'd have to put it in a machine on campus, and a laser would rewrite the expiry date/update the course info.

                                    My Suica has been vandalised!

                                    It transpires this has a leuco rewritable coating, so special products (like this 1 day season) are literally lasered onto the front (including a map!) and overwritten/removed once used.

                                    Extremely extra but very cool. I've never seen one of these in the wild before.

                                    [Ricoh Global Official Website] Ricoh has established a technology that can rewrite physical distribution labels pasted on tote containers with no contact and at high speed about 1,000 times. The labels can be used repeatedly for five years or more under severe outdoor conditions; this contributes greatly to reduced environmental impact and cost. (The rewritable laser system is available only in Japan at the moment.)

                                    @hugh Yes, that's very cool indeed! But in my case, the ticket machines didn't clean my IC Card after expiration. I had to ask Metro staff to clean it for me.

                                      Did you manage to take enough trips within Tokyo to make it worth it?

                                      @eefi Yes, definitely. It's only ~ Β£8 to start with.

                                      Many people keep telling me the passes aren't good value, so I can only assume they're doing significantly fewer journeys πŸ˜…

                                        @twi Yeah, I'm interested to see how well the removal works.
