It's really the little things that completely, totally make my day. Like actually MAKING my connecting train at Aomuri, even though my tickets gave me five minutes (!!!) to do so. Man, what a good feeling, and infinity times better that the one I would have had if I'd missed it. I must thank immensely the Japanese guy with a backpack, because I figured out which way to go when I saw him go rushing by (thus he was clearly in the same situation as me).
The train system is pretty easy to figure out, though. The best part is that things are so PUNCTUAL (not like in Spain). Apparently you can set your watch by the train times. That's pretty impressive. I'm glad I picked up a timetable at the rail pass exchange place. I checked the map inside, and I guess the overnighter I was on went over to the Gulf side of Japan. Hm. We get to cross the water between Honshu and Hokkaido soon.
I learned how to say "which train" ("doko densha") today.
