Contrasting Japan

Just this morning, I was still on foot visiting small houses with their own vegetable plots and fields , few days back I was hiking up shrines where few people set foot there without the intrusion of tour buses.

Next I alighted from the bus in Shinjuku, the craziest place on earth there 4 different train stops can mean the same destination. (Whether it is the Toei line, JR line, or the whatever line).

Got so fed up and hailed a cab who stopped in the MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, ran over and hopped on. Didn't know how to give directions in Japanese and I didn't have the address in Japanese either. Mumbled my way around and realised the cab driver didn't switch on his meter. Freaked out and pointed out his 'mistake' and turned out that he is not going to charge me. Called up the hostel, and passed the taxi driver the phone. He drove me there, walked me to the hostel and left with a smile. Tried to pay him some money but he mumbled some words like 'near', 'service', 'daijoubu' and refused my money.

I live beside an amusement park and every 5 mins I hear people screaming from the rollercoasters.

This, is Japan. Proper update later tonight or tomorrow morning.
