Three things in Japan that every country needs. First, these umbrellas do more than shield you from the rain. In Japan, special umbrellas have been designed to help people cool off during extreme heat. They come with built-in fans and a mist sprayer. Just attach a water bottle at the bottom and with the press of a button, a cool mist sprays out instantly refreshing you. Next, this is the world's shortest escalator. It spans just one meter, roughly five steps, and the ride takes about a second to complete. This tiny escalator even holds a Guinness World record. You can find it in a department store in Kawasaki, Japan. Next, some restaurants in Japan give you these funny looking finger gloves when you order a meal. They're perfect for eating messy or greasy food. Now you can enjoy using your hands without worrying you'll get them dirty. Just slide them on and get to munching. And lastly, drinking in Japan can be extra fun when you use one of these special ceramic sake cups. At first, only part of the illustration is visible, but once you pour in some liquid, dozens of colorful cherry blossoms appear inside the cup. Cold drinks turn them blue while hot beverages make them bloom pink.
