I'm the absolute worst when it comes to directions and remembering roads (and remembering most things in general but hey when you get to my age your thankful to have hair!) but:
- I think subway systems (like New York for example) in America are terribly confusing and noisy.
- Japanese systems are so much easier to use. I can barely speak enough Japanese to get myself into trouble and being able to navigate the rail system with ease and comfort is a testament to how well the system is laid out. (I couldn't imagine coming to New York as a foreigner that could not read or speak English and easily navigating the system.)
Also, the bullet trains are pretty neat, comfortable, and I like the snack-cart girls.
Additionally: Do Japanese rail systems/subway have musicians like in New York?
