The thing is Kansai though is that if someone is hogging seats you can tell them off and they won't get too pissy about it. They'll usually nod, move their stuff and let you sit down. The same can't be said for Tokyo and places like Nagoya. They will pretend…

The cops need to stop random folks on bikes and whatnot and start enforcing traffic laws. EVERY morning I nearly get killed because I insist on crossing at the crosswalk near my place. NO ONE ever stops. I have no idea how many times cars have come within meters of…
