Hooray for Braille!

In Japan, the beer cans have braille on them! Okay, this is a can of something, hmm, its tall, hmm, well it's nice to know I'm about to sink my teeth into a nice cold one! Yah for braille! And beer is just the beginning! I'm telling you now, if you are blind (you wouldn't be reading this, but) move to Japan. It is the most braille friendly place I have ever been to. But I guess that you would have to read braille Japanese. But every major street is covered with braille crossings. Braille, Braille, Braille!!! No need to worry about that express train speeding by your train station, there is braille on the ground warning you of the edge of the platform. In fact, there is braille telling you where the train doors will open (yah for trains). There is braille on every major sidewalk, telling showing where intersections are and where long, straight paths are. Amazing.
