Hey Vic!Great to see you are enjoying Japan...the whole experience ! A couple of small things I did enjoy watching in Osaka: The "pushers" at the subway pushing to squeeze people into the car at peak hr. and the highway going through the 4

You would certainly get to know your neighbour!!! Obviously there would be a large displacement of water with that many bodies!!!
