So I made the right choice to just go on the first train going in the right direction! ๐Ÿ˜ I was 50/50 on waiting for a Tozai line train, but the board didn't show any.

I think I'm OK now. I took the next train that arrived as it stops in Akihabara. I can change to the Hibiya line there. I WAS looking for a Tozai line train. Figuring out Japan's train system could probably be a college course ๐Ÿ˜‚

Took a wrong turn and ended up completely lost โ€”but if I can just make it back to Shinjuku, Iโ€™ll consider it a win. Never thought Iโ€™d be this glad to see that neon chaos again.

WOW 30 years of the Sega Saturn. I still have a Saturn, but itโ€™s all the way back in Ireland. Sega Rally is probably my favorite game. Me and my dad spent ages trying to beat each otherโ€™s lap times. #SegaSaturn
