"Tokyo has JR!?"
* JR - Japan Railways (a so-called main Railway company in Jpn; like KTMB in Malaysia)
Now I understand why Japs think that Merlion is in KL ... and Oreos is a local brand.
I was looking at this at the uni bookstore...

Being the fact that it doesnt have any legend indicator, what line which colour and all... I asked my friend :
Me : Which one of these is JR's line? ( that's like asking, which one is KTM commuter)
friend : Tokyo has JR?
me : .... ya... JR east... ( JR is seperated into groups according to region)

friend : haa... I've only heard of JR West and JR Kyushu. (He's from Fukuoka). I've never been to Tokyo...
me : (tries not to over-react - i know the reason and I can blame them for being such a mushroom) ... ohh... then its ok... but just to tell you there are such things as JR Hokkaido, JR Shikoku etc ...
If this happens in Msia it would be like... a penang fella who never knew about Rapid KL.
Regarding this case, I've just discovered the truth about why some Jap people are such a mushroom. Its based on history which I've just read about. Therefore, I cannot blame these poor people... I will definately write about it one day soon. I have a lot more to learn about the locals here... it takes time.
And so much has happened. And I havent been writing about those... it takes time...lol
