5 yen, please!

I've been fortunate and blessed in life to have had many opportunities to travel abroad and learn "cute" idioms of other cultures.

In Uganda, it is considered inhospitable to not fill a glass to the brim.

In Europe, ketchup and other condiments cost extra.

In Japan, as of October 1st, you must pay for eco-friendly grocery bags, 5 yen each.

"Cute" is not the word that comes to mind.
