Japanese city hall: Garbage philosophy
I was sitting on the bullet train with Fred, racing across Japan, on the way to another endless meeting. Glancing out the window, we couldn't see Mt. Fuji. We knew it was there and we were 99.99% sure that we would not be able to see it. We still looked just the same. Naturally, obscured by clouds, pollution or both, we couldn't see it. Gathering my trash from a 7-11 salmon rice ball, a handful of tangerines, and a Crunky chocolate bar, I stuffed it into the 7-11 bag and commented, "I do miss trash cans."
I should have known better than to make such a comment around Fred. After 9-11, all the garbage cans on the bullet trains were taped shut and people had to take their garbage off the train with them, or leave it on the train. He quickly replied, "You know, trains in Japan were always one place that you could be sure of finding a garbage can. Where can we be confident of finding trash cans? Certainly not on the street and certainly not in parks. Did I ever tell you about Mike and his garbage can inquiry?"
I nodded my head, but my nod was in vain. Fred started to tell me all about Mike and his garbage, again, "Mike made the foolish mistake of replying to one of those let's ask the foreign residents for their feedback about life in Japan inquiries. Mike was tired of going to the park with his son, not finding any garbage cans, and seeing all the trash scattered around. Mike thought that if there were trash cans, people would use them. Mike mistakenly thought that trash cans were an obvious municipal service. So, he replied to that effect. Would you believe that two guys from city hall went all the way out to Mike's house to explain why there were no trash cans in the park? They explained that trash cans would be an added expense that the city did not want to pay for, which was why they had the take your garbage home with you approach. When Mike pointed out that the take your garbage home approach was not working and people were just dumping their trash in the park, what do you think they said?"
I started to reply, but Fred cut me off, "They explained that it was an added expense that the city did not want to pay for, which was why they had the take your garbage home with you approach. Yes, the two civil servants said the exact same thing all over again. So Mike is wondering why he ever gave feedback in the first place. Even more, Mike is wondering why the local municipal government even asked for feedback."
Fred went on, but I just tuned him out, thinking that we certainly did not have a meeting of the minds here. Mike wanted garbage cans in the public parks. He thought this was a basic municipal service. He thought providing feedback might lead to improvement. Little did Mike know that city hall was not really open to change. There was one way to do things - the city hall way. City hall was always open to explaining exactly what they were doing. They thought that explaining how they did things would help people to understand what was going on. They thought that explaining would help to reduce problems. They did not have a clue that people providing feedback expected change.
Mike never gave any feedback again.

Would it be easier to get married at city hall before going to Saint Lucia for a formal wedding?
I was looking at all the requirements that you need to get married out of the US, and its really crazy. Do you think it would be a good idea to get married at the city hall and sign the license a week before going to Saint Lucia? Do you know anyone who has done this before having a destination wedding?
From what I understand, this is fairly common practice for couples getting married abroad. It can be hard to fulfill all the requirements to get married in another country AND make sure all the documentation is legal in the US. You can absolutely conduct the legal ceremony at the courthouse a few days before your wedding in Saint Lucia. This is what a friend of mine did - she got married in Mexico but did the legal part in Virginia a few days before. I didn't feel like she was having a fake wedding or trying for a do-over because the legal marriage and the ceremony coincided so closely. To me, the ceremony in Mexico was the "real" ceremony.
And of course, you can celebrate your anniversary on whatever day you want. There's no "anniversary police" who are going to make you go by the marriage license. Jeez people on here are bossy.
