So yesterday we bought our subway passes. And we assumed that the little arrow on the card was indicating that we should insert it into the gate (similar to how we would do it on the subway in D.C., our most recent point of reference). So we slid the card in, and the gate started whirring and making all sorts of funky noises. So the gate attendant walked over with an understanding look on his face (hmmm...I wonder if he'd had to fix this before?) and pointed to this blinking electronic pad of sorts. Then opened up the machinery, extracted our subway card, and moving the card above the pad said, "Touch."Two empty stares.
"Touch."
Oh, so that's what the touch pad is for.
Stupid Americans.
PHOTO: Babysitting, Tokyo style. Actually, behind this cart is a trail of little people walking. It appeared to be a field trip, and the smallest legs got to ride in style.
