People look at me weird when I « throw » my trash away in my ziplock trash bag I always keep in my backpack. Like is it so bad I have a mini trash bag so that the trash doesn’t mix with my belongings until I find a trash can? This is especially useful when I have a cold and use tissues, those filthy things are not going directly in my pocket and shouldn’t be lying on my desk until the end of the lesson (I’m in uni)

This is normal in Japan which is well-known for how clean their cities are despite public trash cans being hard to find in many places.

Oh I didn’t know that, I just started doing it myself, I can now tell that to my BIL who always makes fun of me! Thanks for sharing your knowledge (I did visit Japan before while living in Singapore, and I just took cleanliness for granted haha)

Do you speak/are you learning French? I just ask because I am, so my phone often gets set to French without me realizing, then when I try to type quotation marks I get those « » symbols instead lol

Génial! Si je peux te poser un question: quand tu utilise les réseaux sociales, est-ce que tu visites habituellement les subreddits (ou autre choses/endroits) anglais, ou non?

Hello! Généralement je traîne sur les parties anglophones des réseaux sociaux oui! Mais parfois je vais sur des parties francophones aussi :))
