I went to Japan to find electronic goods that I could not find
in Thailand, while on a visa run as well. I assumed Japan......

J.H. Khrist. What a twerp cry baby. You went to Japan and you came away
pissed? You didn't like this, you didn't like that. Boo hoo; boo hoo;
boo hoo. What? You think Japan is a tour colony that's administered for
your piss ant shopping needs? I'll bet the farm that you didn't find
what you need you moron, because you don't read, write, or speak
Japanese (Why should you eh? Those gooks should speak amErikAn eNgLliSh
right?) thus you were unequivocally, brain dead clueless and didn't
know that you were surrounded by thousands of advertisements telling
you where to go, what to buy and what to pay. Moreover, if you could
have had an intelligent conversation with a Japanese shop clerk you
would have received very polite, very patient, very knowledgable
assistance. I've been in Japan for 25 years I do speak, read, and write
Japanese and I have no, zero, zip problems finding precisely what I
need in Akihabara and/or any other part of Tokyo. And the trains? You
don't like the trains? The piss poor trains? So this is your first trip
to Japan and you're an Akihabara/Japan transporation system authority?
I'd bet again that your opinion of the train system and the people that
ride it is linked to your monolingual stupidity i.e. you were
illiterate in Japan, couldn't read stuff that a 6-year old Japanese
kindergarten student could read, and was pissed off because you were
out of your podunk backwoods element. Stay home Bubba. Japan doesn't
need you and has been doing just fine without you for more than a 1000
years of its civilization.
