Cleaners as a job cultural difference japan
Maybe because of the uniform and the company's effort to enhance their cleaners' image.

    He-he. Kinda not really a true.

    BTW, there are many places where cleaners, janitors, waste collectors dressed like a hardcore gentleman :) But in general, You are right, it is not often happens to meet neatly dressed cleaner.

      Not only. There are many business centers where cleaners have dress code.
      More other, some agencies, providing cleaner services, have option for dress code.

      From the other side, I saw quite 'american' looking cleanres in Kumamoto airport facility: guys looking like a hobo but in uniform aprons and hats.

It sounded unusual so I googled and found the recipe. Amazingly, many people swear that it works wonder to cure their coughs and sore throats, so I decided to try out of desperation because I had already been coughing for four days and four nights. Preparation: Put a can of coke (around 350ml) and sliced ginger into a pot and bring to boil, simmer for 10 mins. You can either add lemon when it was simmering or squeezed lemon juice after you pour into your mug. *I couldn't get old ginger from my Japanese supermarket so I used young ginger that was not so spicy.
