Cape Breton - Japan - The Differences that Lie Therein Between

I am from Cape Breton.
I now live in Japan.
Shocking Difference of the day:

Actual Universe
Japan: Seen someone using a Starbucks bag to transport their lunch to work.
Possible Reason: They want to be seen with such a fashionable bag (Starbucks within Japan = cool)
My gut reaction: Who you be fooling? Pretensiousnessesesssesss.

Alternate Universe where I live in Cape Breton
Cape Breton: Seen someone carry their lunch to work using a Nova Scotia Liqour Commision bag.
Possible Reason: They want to be seen with such a fashionable bag (NSLC within Cape Breton = cool)
My gut reaction: Pride in man as there is no pretense here. Though slightly worried about what this could hold for such an island in such a market oriented go-meets-go world. Cape Breton - you are too perfect for this world.
