living in japan, your forced to take the train. and if you can’t read japanese, you will get lost for sure. how the heck do you read something like this? i’ve been getting lost and lost in the train system for years. sometimes so lost that i go in the opposite direction without even knowing it. i hate to catch the train but it’s a part of life here in japan. i spent years and years studying the train system around japan and i think i figured it out. it’s pretty simple, ask someone… haha….
they just came out with a new system. you put a deposit of 500 yen or $4 to get this card. then you can charge it up with money and just flash it going in and out of the train station. it’s like a prepaid card so it just deducts from your balance. it makes things much easier for me. it saves me a lot of time trying to read japanese and putting coins in that complicated machine to get a ticket. thanks suica. you saved my life….
well, my trains coming. gotta go…..
