For most people, colors are colors and words are words. There's no overlap. But for me, a "synesthete," colors and words are blended together. Monday is pink, September is yellow, the letter "J" is blue, and the number seven is lime green – obviously.

I Have Synesthesia, and Here’s What It’s Really Like

One of the most useful items for travelling in Tokyo (and Japan) is having an IC transport card. Not only can it be used for riding trains and buses, it’s also accepted as a form of payment at selected stores and restaurants. Last year, the general sales of Tokyo’s two IC cards, Pasmo and Suica, were suspended indefinitely due to global semiconductor shortage. It’s an inconvenience, as sales are currently limited to monthly commuter passes and special IC cards for foreign tourists.
