After the subway- should cost you about 200 yen.
Are you on some crazy travel budget or something?
No, i'm talking about travel expenses. You know you can cab around everywhere and expense it..
meh, it literally costs me less than $5 a day to take the train, and i like walking around and looking at stuff
fuck no. flights for economy were about 1000 each way ($2000 round), and first class was like 2x as much, business even more. freaking crazy. although walking past the first/business class seats, they were really nice. big TVs with a remote, reclining seats to lay down, etc. i would have liked that. the chic who made my arrangements, tried to get me first class but was shot down by corporate. a lot of companies are taking the stance that economy "still gets you there all the same" so they wont spring for more. it sucks.
i looked into checking out Suzuka, but it doesnt seem like much is going there this time of yearApparently there's a Motor themed amusement park there haha, that would be awesome.
The theme park is geared more toward little kids anyway:
Eek. Flights over 10 hours are business class for us, so every Japan trip was business.
some things ive noticed.
-people are generally friendly. very especially wait staff or service industry workers. they will gladly bend over backwards for you
-these people never require (or accept) tips. it's always included as they strive to always provide the best service. tipping is actually slightly insulting as it implies that you had low expectations of them
-people only do 3 things on the subway/trains; sleep, read, play on their phone. they avoid eye contact or otherwise interaction
-speaking of phones, like 75% of everyone has an iphone. 24% have the same flip phone (i couldnt tell the model), 1% other. almost no one has android phones.
-maybe it's just the time of year, but i havent seen any other americans outside of my group of workers. most other white people are european or Australian.

Yup. Don't eat on the train either. I have actually dropped money in the subway and had total strangers run up and give it back to me. Good culture.
