[jade echo]

do you just tell them where you got in

or they have a flat fee

like in Belgium

[tranquil smelt]

Some have flat fee with only frontal checkout

Some have check in on entry and check out at front

[restive beacon]

depending on the city, busses are different. there are 3 types:

• board from the front, pay when boarding, deboard from the back
• board from the back, pay when deboarding, deboard from the front
• board from the front, pay when deboarding, deboard from the front

city busses are most likely option 1, as they mostly have a flat fare and a lot of stops, and rural/suburban busses tend to be options 2 and 3 depending on the number of doors

the most common type is option number 2, where you get different fares depending on the length of your journey (check-in where you got on, and the pay the corresponding fare when you get off)

Busses are not good here

Shinkansens just look 39393 times more aerodynamic

[tranquil smelt]

Yes

I hate shinkansen seats

Horrible things

Japan’s Meteorological Agency (JMA) has issued its first-ever “mega earthquake warning.”

People have been told to prepare for a scenario in which an 8-9 magnitude earthquake could strike off Japan’s coast.

The warning comes after 2 smaller earthquakes that scientists

Jasper megaquake

[rain nimbus]

Japan is definitely worth visiting

Just don't go in summer, you'll have a very bad time doing anything outside

I'll go back in a few years I think

[mental thistle]

Also it's more of a reminder saying this shit happens over here than warning people about it is definitely gonna happen

[mental thistle]

Winter japan sounds cool too

[tranquil smelt]

These are present
There are on some shinkansen trolleys, every shinkansen has vending machines but you might have to walk far, some might have restaurants

[tranquil smelt]

Japanese summer can't be that bad? lol

I imagine it's pretty similar to summer weather here

[frosty ember]

It's quite humid

I've been told summer in Busan is also super hot, up to 40 degrees or so

[frail flower]

must be a big difference nort and southern japan i guess too

[sturdy grove]

yeah the humidity is what makes it rough

we get up to 35 degrees here but rarely above that

this is why I like to travel in the fall haha

[jade echo]

Shinkansen is a pretty different service model to tgv

[tranquil smelt]

Up to 40, feeling temp went as high as 46

Also its consistent above 35

[sturdy grove]

damn

[tranquil smelt]

Today was one of 3 days since arrival where the temperature was below 35 and the feeling temperature below 40

[sturdy grove]

dutch melting temps

[tranquil smelt]

Also at night it doesnt cool much

[sturdy grove]

hm, never thought of Japan as getting super hot

[tranquil smelt]

This is basically like death valley in the summer on a cooler day

You go outside, and you just start drippin wet from sweat within minutes

[sturdy grove]

sounds like the weather here in late july/august

it's like wading through a warm pool outside

[rain nimbus]

Your holiday sounds a lot more enjoyable than Rico's

But this is probably chaotic/different interests orga of Rico's group

[tranquil smelt]

Trust me, mine is frustrating in its own way

I am basically on vacation with the youtube short watchers gang

I basically turn their vacation into mine because theyre too lazy/stupid to have a mind of their own

I am without the yt short gang rn

Because they wanted to go to another media markt equivalent for the 4th time this vacation

Also i found the steam train by accident

[mental thistle]

Sounds like wouter but a lot more youtube shorts

[mental thistle]

Basically onky this sounds like wouter actually

[tranquil smelt]

This was very enjoyable

Speedrun cocktails and neuken every day

And I actually wanted to see shit

I'm so hyped about this

Please give a thorough review of what Hokkaido is like

[tranquil smelt]

K

Largest field of nothing ive seen so far (ichinoseki

@alpine delta i think i know why the windows are so small
They made all the tunnels too narrow causing pressure changes which large windows cannot withstand

Like im seeing my window change with the pressure

[tranquil smelt]

Aomori, last stop before hokkaido

Aomori bay is misty

But just the water

Tunnel time

@rain nimbus

[tranquil smelt]

Me when the 4g signal under water

This tunnel is cooler than the eurotunnel

Single tube

Signal

Dual gauge, narrow and standard

A lot of light

Curves

Its also a higher speed

This tunnel truly dunks on the euro tunnel

I am now in hokkaido

@rain nimbus wake up you sleep deprived wanker, im in hokkaido

Got out of the tunnel, my window is all of the sudden extremely dirty

This place is empty

This is the emptiest japan ive seen so far

The sea looks rough from here, probably because the typhoon is nearby
