Japanese Fitting Room Surprises

Shoes Off Please 
OFF WITH YOUR SHOES THEN OFF WITH YOUR CLOTHES
Clothes are not the only things you take off (and well of course put on) in a typical Fitting Room in Japan. As what they would traditionally do before entering a house, customers are expected to remove their shoes as well.  I think it is very convenient because you would easily figure out whether someone is inside the room or not (avoiding bending down to peak through falsely closed doors which I would usually do back home..hahahah)

Facial Covers for Make Up Users

OFF WITH YOUR SHOES THEN COVER YOUR FACE FIRST??
But another surprising addition to a typical fitting room ensemble would be this thin delicate facial mask usually boxed in the corner of the room. While I would often disregard it, I wondered for a while whether this was really necessary for hygienic purposes. As I read through other blogs I later on found out that these masks were designed to protect clothes from female enhancement products (read:make up). It would not take some time for you to notice that Japanese women are indeed make up lovers and as a precaution masks prevent the unwanted transfer of glitters and colors to clothes when they are pulled over the face. Makes sense I guess..^_^
