Lost in translation

just a few months ago, i posted a post about the complicated subway route in Korea...but that, i got on well...this time, in japan, i really really felt the complication and how easily one would get lost there...Japan is not big, but the subway lines are the world's most complicated subway lines...(Actually i think NY's subway is not tat easy...that's coz they don have a clear map like korea, HK and Japan)...oh well, to say how complicated it is doesnt mean anything...let's take a look at the picture below...this pic hasnt shown all of the lines available..most of them are still missing~~i guess the most difficult thing abt travelling in japan is most of the things are in Japanese and even they have it in Kanji (ie 汉字）, i still found it difficult coz on the website, the names will be in alphabets and they are totally different in Japanese :( i remember one day in kyoto, i wanted to go to "inari station" and i looked up and down on the map and couldnt find it...so i had to ask a passerby...inari station is 稻荷station...who could ever figure out????
