So I took a random train for one stop, left that station, came right back, and took a train in the opposite direction… All instead of talking to a stranger. And this was all with many layers of clothes on. Comically, of course, that train ended up being some non-stop express.)

49. Interesting ATM UI, combining language selection with main menu. Clever, but a bit overwhelming from my perspective. However, if you’re used to UIs looking like that TV guide or subway above…pic.twitter.com/XzftIBWb2r

52. I heard a loop of birds chirping in various places in a big subway station. (Sorry for the shoddy video.) It didn’t add up then, but I read now it’s a guide for vision-impaired people, telling them about the beginnings of escalators leading towards the exits.pic.twitter.com/rzQiw74zQO

54. I did it! I went to the hotel bath and sat naked in public for the first time in my life. I wore my Crater Lake slippers on the way for good luck! But also memorized the etiquette three times over: http://www.sentoguide.info/etiquette pic.twitter.com/iqlHGkuAy1

55. Mac OS is better at recognizing my awful kanji than the app I used before. Here’s “big bathhouse,” the first try:pic.twitter.com/S7XB4GKh6w

Replying to @mwichary
Stroke count, order, & direction are all very important for writing kanji "correctly." I wonder if MacOS is doing shape recognition rather than a more traditional approach. For example, check out this stroke order diagram http://jisho.org/search/%23kanji%20 …漢

Ah, interesting. I assumed shape recognition only. Perhaps that’s why the other program failed so badly on the barista’s “welcome”?

I'd bet that's at least part. Also, looks like Twitter didn't like the kanji in my URL, here's the example I meant to paste http://bit.ly/2BH8WWz

Also for the ようこそ on your cup, if you're not familiar with the writing system it's hard to know which strokes are actually part of the word, which strokes belong to which character, and conventions like spacing.
