The Bus
this is Miyazaki City

thats from Google Earth
i usually go to uni by bicycle. But sometimes, I have to go to town to get things done at City Hall or buy stuff i can't get in Uni town, like the shampoo I'm using, clothes, stuff...This Aeon highlighted in the map is the largest in Japan.
Tachibana dori (Tachibana Street) is the place where you get pubs, clubs, and the backlanes... (Jap style)...Bus terminal, Central Station... thats where I go to to get to another city ...
But my point is today, I will teach you how to cry in public, right here in Miyazaki...
That's how i get carried away (2 meanings there)

In Japan, we enter the bus from the center. So... you grab that ticket (seiriken). For my case, I use a bus card.

Look at the number. It is 1. The number indicates where you boarded the bus. University is the starting point so it is 1.Then you look at the meter in front. When you get off, look at 1. The numbers displayed indicate how much you have to pay.
First stop, Fukushi Zone (Welfare Zone)...

Heck, its 140yen (RM4.20).... See that? That's how much you have to pay when you wanna alight here.
The thing is, the bus only went this far...

speechless...
Then... the numbers keep rising....

still rising... (how nice if this is KLSE)

this is Miyakoh City, aka bus terminal. RM15!!! ...but the journey today must go on. I am going to City Hall... (see, you're crying at this point already...)

Tachibana dori first mile. That's the City Hall... RM16.50 ....one way...
That's around 15km. Its like Cheras Leisure Mall to Malaya Uni using Federal Highway via chee cheung kai junction. We don't even pay RM5 on the bus, unless we're buying the 1-day pass.
I ran out of tears, I coughed blood instead... (photo courtesy of Photo Bucket)
So,... people always say, "Jie Pan very expensif oh~~!" Now you get their point?
