Todd: So, Keiko, so you lived in The States and they have a different system of collecting trash. Can you explain the difference of collecting trash in America and collecting trash in Japan?

Keiko: OK, my personal experience, in The States you just put everything in one place whereas in Japan you have to divide it into five different places but actually where I live in Kawasaki it's actually quite easy so I only have to divide into two garbage: one burnable, the other one non-burnable.That's it, but in the states, you just put everything together.

Todd: Right, it's really weird cause when I go home and I have trash I feel guilty. There's two things I feel strange about: One is in Japan I take off my shoes, when I go home, in America I feel strange walking in a house with my shoes on and the other is trash. When I go to throw away trash, I'm just throwing it away and I don't have to put in the right bin. It always feels a little strange.

Keiko: But that means that somebody's -- at the end, somebody is doing all the dividing work in The States, right?

Todd: Unfortunately, I don't know. I think maybe some communities but maybe a lot, they just bury it. I think in The States, cause we have a lot more land, we just bury a lot of the trash. We don't burn it like you do in Japan, so.

You were saying that in Japan, it's different from region to region how you separate trash.

Keiko: I think Tokyo is really strict, whereas Kanagawa is a little bit easy and I don't know why but I have to be even more careful when I'm at work, so even when I'm busy, I eat my lunch, you know, I take out my lunch garbage and I have to put, you know, chopstick here, a plastic box here, and a plastic bag here, and yeah, it's quite, quite a work

Todd: I hear ya. OK. Thanks a lot Keiko.
