stormibays asked: I will be going to Japan in late March , Early April and I am wondering….
1. What would you do in Tokyo if you had just 1 1/2 days of free time (I’m doing a tour and this is our only exploring time?)
2. Are subway/trains the same and are they easy to use for the American speaker? - Signs in English? Peole who work there speak english?
3. Is it easy to take a train to Kamakura and back. Is it walkable from the train station and how long should I budget for this? How long is the train?
4. What are the names of some big chain grocery type of stores in Tokyo that there are many of? Do they typically accept credit cards?
5. Will the cherry blossoms be blooming in Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Nara at the end of March beginning of April ( 2 week time frame)
3.
I’ve navigated subway systems in New York, London and Paris (pain in the **** but doable) , Will the Japanese systems be similar or harder?
Smiley asked: Why is it that it is rude to take up too much space by wearing your backpack on your back, talking outloud with someone sitting next to you or using a cell phone, yet it is perfectly OK for a man to read pornographic magazines, manga and newspapers in front of children and women?
Oh yea, putting on make-up, eating or drinking is a no-no too.
Actually, people HAVE said “URUSAI” on a couple of occasions while I was chatting with a friend of mine in the morning train. We were not even talking very loud (practically wispering).
And I do think I have the right to judge how wrong it is when my 3 year old daughter is sitting in her stroller getting a front on view of a young, ***** teenage looking girl getting eaten out by a businessman and asking me if that guy is “Daddy”? I mean sheesh! These guys need to keep it private or at least be aware of who is getting an eyefull!!!!
