Now for a discussion on COVID and recycling. For lunch I went to Paris Baguette, along with 'Tous le Jour' they are the ubiquitous Korean owned sit in cheap bakeries. There are plenty of higher end options but I am no snob. And yes, they are Korean despite being all over Japan too. Anyway, Korea often leads the world in environmental things, they were the first to ban food waste, and it is now illegal to use a take away cup if you are sitting in at a cafe. However, due to COVID, everything is plastic wrapped and vacuum sealed in multiple layers with signs explaining how they take hygiene seriously to offset opinion about the plastic disaster. It took me a long time to get into my sandwich through its triple defence layers.
