I love these little post about Japanese culture. Such a fascinating place Japan is to me in many aspects.
I find it kinda funny how they just developed a small segment just for this.
It´s like nah, don't worry about thinking whether or not you can dry your clothes today, we'll tell you.
That sums up the approach to things pretty well over here. If you can do it, someone will tell you. If you can't do it, someone will tell you. Many times, though, not being told that you can do something carries the meaning that you can't, or aren't supposed to do whatever it is that you want to do/are doing.
