Navingating around Japan isn't as hard as I thought before I came here. The train time/map system is very easy to read, as well as the bus system. They place the time in military time, and either from left to right or up to down they display at what time (minute wise) they show, my train shows up on the 05, 15, 25, 35, 45, and 55. Respectively the bus schedule is much the same. The bus I take to school is either Bus 12 or Bus 13. They arrive every other time, and there is always one that is at the bus stop at 00, 15, 30, and 45. My host father showed me how to find my trains, even though I did get lost that first day, however today I navigated the bus system by myself for the first time, and did not get lost. The only problem, however, is that you MUST know the name of the place you want to get off on in KANJI. On the train they will display in English on an electric sign where you are, but on the bus you need to know a head of time, especially if it's not a repeating trip. Meaning, if I want to take another bus to another area of town and I'm looking to get to a specific case, when I read the map and schedule I must be able to recognize the name in Kanji. ok? ok.
PS:I will edit this post later to add a picture, (when I upload it later) of the bus schedule that I talked about.
