The trip to the Hagiwara house

When I landed at Hanida air port Tokyo I had to get a bus. I had to get the Limousin bus to Ikabukaru, it stopped at the metropolitan hotel were I was to met Hagiwara Yuko San. (Or we would say Ms Yuko Hagiwara.) The bus was very easy and cheap, about 600Yen. The public transport in Japan works very well and for such a large city there is no traffic. So taking a bus or a train is very convenient. There are also English signs and announcements on the buses and trains.
I was very relived when I met Yuko san as she had a car. On the way to her House we drove down these amazing streets and back road. On every corner there is something going on. There are so many people and little shop's selling every thing from cold drinks to fresh fish. There is a vending machine on every corner too. I can't quit see how they do it but it is so clean and every thing works so well. The streets are perfect with hedges row and flower beds every where. Was England like this at one time, when we had a sense of pride and heritage.

Japan has this massive monster called the USA standing at is door knock so very hard. I think the young people find the temptation of opening the door to hard to resist, but at what cost? There lives are amazing from there arts to there food, the old ways and the new ways have come to make this mixed and open place. Do they understand the cost of opening the door? I think England has just realised the price that we have paid for opening that door. The USA monster is slow eating England up soon we will be just a star on a flag, will this happen to Japan?
