Unexpected item in the baggage area

There goes that suitcase with the ribbons tied round the handle. Again. And again. And again.

Waiting for your luggage at the airport is rarely fun – especially if it’s 5am and you’ve just queued for two hours at passport control. But in an effort to perk up impatient people, airports in Japan have introduced all sorts of weird and wonderful things to their carousels. (Thanks, Magic Mich.)

There’s an eyeball bursting out of a suitcase. A plastic penguin. Giant fruit and veg. And lots of mega-sized models of sushi.

Some of the pieces are advertising local attractions or produce. Others are just plain bizarre. Still, anything to keep you distracted until you realise everyone else has gone and your luggage is nowhere to be seen.
