Vending Machines and Walkways

This is primarily for my upcoming "Picture Yourself in Japan" contest, but could work as a reference photo too.

During lunch and after school many students come down to the cafeteria to buy a drink from the vending machines. See [link] . Behind the vending machines is the batting cage, and the two gyms are down the walkway, one on each side. The wooden walkways are moveable and are in place so that you can still wear your indoor shoes outside. Cafeterias are pretty rare in Japanese high schools; most students bring their own lunch or buy instant ramen from a convenience store so there's little need for one. There's always at least four vending machines at any given school though.
