re: Tokyo, Shanghai, Osaka……why is that?

I left school early one afternoon. I decided to take the bus, then the train across Tokyo. I forgot one symbol on the train. I ended up 20 miles from the base. Had 200 yen left in my pocket. (less than a dollar)

Walked forever until I recognized the train station outside Grant Heights .....

Arrived home at 7PM, I got the leftovers from the dinner the maid prepared.. Next day I had her write every bus or train sign I would encounter.

It was funny .....folks would stop and try to talk because they knew I was lost. I knew just enough Japanese to get me headed in the right direction.

Sorry, no groping on the train ......
