41. I am getting a sense that Japan/Tokyo take better care of differently abled people? Examples: tactile presentation of the train configuration, and lower handlebars. Also, each elevator has a second set of buttons for people in wheelchairs.pic.twitter.com/YiFXoZoPtt

42. So I briefly used to play with model train(s) as a kid before discovering computers and it’s definitely not all coming back to me now, why do you ask?pic.twitter.com/c4FmgdsxfI

43. My phone and my battery died in the middle of exploring which was unnerving, given I once managed to get lost after literally having seen my destination in front of me. (And I saw a bunch of things on the way I couldn’t take photos of. :·( )

44. Tower Records! With a surprisingly robust movie soundtrack section, and – on another floor – the first album I ever fell in love with. (However, the sort order of soundtracks defeated me.)pic.twitter.com/MLZd3QMzk9

This thread is really nostalgic for me, haha. Wait until you take a train that splits in two! Or maybe you have that at home and it's only startling to an American.

Hmm. Not sure if that's what I meant—I'm talking about long-distance trains that split up part way through the trip. Half the train goes to one city, and the other half goes to anther. Very unnerving when you thought you were safely on your train! :D
