Tokyo underground

Tonight I sucessfully navigated the Tokyo subway system by myself.

That is most certainly an accomplishment.

There is so much more English here than in Aizu! We ended up at Indian instead of sushi (some folks were a bit sushi-ed out) and it was so easy to find where the restaurant was. Also, it seemed that almost all of the signs had enough English to be able to figure out what was going on. Menus were a million times easier in the restaurants we looked into. Funny how quickly my brain adapated to having such limited cues. Being able to understand everything in a couple of days will be a huge shock.

Actually, it is interesting to think about what culture shock will be like going back, in particular with the knowledge that I will be leaving again soon.
