Japan now has an ID card system for buying cigarettes from vending machines called Taspo. Basically it is some kind of RFID card required as ID to prevent purchases by minors. The card is free and I thought it was interesting even though I don’t smoke. Turned out it was good Japanese practice for me to talk with the people at the Taspo office and fill out the forms. And while waiting for my card there was a problem which they called me on my phone to take care of which I managed to handle without a problem which I was happy about.
