Watching Japanese TV in the morning can be a &#8220;heavy&#8221; for breakfast entertainment. The news program on TV was showing a report on wife-abuse, with some rather realistic video clips &#8211; not exactly the kind of &#8220;early morning fluff&#8221; you see here. Got to Nagasaki station at 9:15 (Train leaves at 10am for Hakata). Updated my list of &#8220;things to buy&#8221; (souvenirs):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Macross Plus Movie<\/li><li>City Hunter OAV &#8211; Secret Service<\/li><li>MiniDisc Player\/recorder<\/li><li>Cassette Tape Deck<\/li><li>MD Media (10 Discs)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After around 8 hours of train travel (2 hours to Hakata, then 6 hours to Yokohama), I arrived, and booked into the Yokohama hostel. I\u2019m really watching my money carefully now, I have around 22,000 yen left, but why take chances? While I was waiting for the Shinkansen, I noticed a young girl selling bento to travelers. She looked rather cold (it was cool, and a strong wind was blowing past the station), so I waited until just before my train left, and ran down and bought her some hot tea from one of the vending machines. She looked a little puzzled when I handed it to her, but she accepted it. Perhaps this sort of generosity just isn\u2019t that common in Japan? I was also getting another &#8220;long stare&#8221; from another girl on the Shinkansen (I\u2019ve heard that Japanese women like foreigners &#8211; this seems to be at least partly true).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Kyoto, two very drunk old businessmen got on the train, and sat right behind me. I listened to their conversation (it was hard not to), and got a grin as one guy started explaining to the other that the young man that his daughter was dating was a complete idiot. Funny, this guy reminded me exactly of a character from Maison Ikkoku. No problem finding the hostel, or checking in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ate a regular breakfast today (toast with jam, coffee, etc.).
