This week Simon and Martina want someone to explain to them how people survive in the morning without having a coffee. In Japan coffee places don't open until 10 or 11 am, and no one seems to drink coffee before work. Not a single coffee shop is open on the way to work and the duo want to know why. There's a lot of hand-drip coffee in Japan, it's not like North America where you can grab a quick drip coffee before starting your day. But Simon and Martina really want to know how people get through the first part of their day without coffee...Someone please explain!?
