Lost and Found
April 16, 2008
CNN has an entertaining and revealing 2-minute video on Tokyo’s lost and found. In a city of 12-or-so million people, it’s staggering how much gets turned in. The piece discusses the 130,000 umbrellas, the change in policy of holding items from 6 months to 3 months due to storage issues, and cultural differences between the U.S. and Japan. Suffice it to say that in the U.S. if you lose something, most of the time you will never see it again.
