I was looking at some houses in a new development in the west of Tokyo recently, with nice new wide(ish) streets, and it wasn't until afterwards I realised I hadn't noticed any utility poles. Which is what you'd expect, it being 2012 and the new road being a good opportunity to bury them out of sight and harm's way (though no doubt some interested parties insist that J-electricity flows better if it's away from the ground or something).
Going back to have another look, I realised that I really hadn't noticed the utility poles - they were there all along, my mind had just blanked them out.
