Vending machines

Japan is all about convenience so naturally they love vending machines. I walk past these machines on my way to work every day - they dispense cigarettes and all manner of drinks. From coke, to every variation of hot coffees and soup that you can imagine. Even beer or cocktails come in cans here! These machines are everywhere, and although it's seen as ill-mannered to drink in the street, that rule doesn't apply in the vicinity of vending machines. It's quite strange.
