People are always asking me if it's true that gasoline comes from the sky in Japan. Yes, it is, they come out of those pumps hanging from the ceiling light, which advertises regular or high-octane gas. And you don't have to do a thing at the gas station, either, cuz the guys in red do it all for you--fill up your tank, wipe your mirrors, squeegee your windows, and stop oncoming traffic to direct you out of the gas station.

I do remember noticing this on my first visit to Japan. I guess it is not something necessary for the wide spaces we have in North America.
