"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be" – Douglas Adams
The final video from Japan, this shows the volume of people wandering across the road at the main crossing by Shibuya Station. It actually got far busier an hour or so later.

additionally i see your planning a week in Bangkok for eye surgery (lazer??)..cuz from my own eye experience you might find yer eyes take much more than a week to feel half better and being ‘on the road’ whilst yer eyes feel shitty isnt fun….
but still enjoy yerself..Ive done lots if SE asia – it’s handy when you live in Oz s’pose..
cheers mate

Hey John. Technically I’m semi-Scot and semi-Taff, but 100% English. Think that makes me 75% British. Or something. Anyway…
Answer as regards the train trip is “no”, unfortunately. As far as I’m aware the old train does not run any more. I certainly couldn’t get any information about it in the country. A shame. Instead, I got the bus from PP to BB and spent a day going around the countryside up there with a guide on the back of a bike – definitely worth the time.
The surgery I’m off for is a “top up”. I had mine done a year ago and the right one’s not as good as the left. Left is 20/20, right a little behind. As it’s covered under “warranty” I decided to have it re-done to see if I can get it up there. It’s miles better than before surgery, but could be better.
Last year I had it done in Bangkok before travelling to Cambodia, down the Mekong, into Vietnam and back to BKK. This year I’ve got a week in Vietnam afterwards. No worries on travelling after surgery – at least this time it’s only one eye! I’ve just had to make sure I do all my diving *before* the op.
Oz appeals somewhat as somewhere to live, and one main reason is the closeness to Asia – especially with the cheap flights coming in from AirAsia. Frankly, I prefer Asia to the UK/Europe. A lot. Just need to convince someone else that she wants to live in Bangkok as well…
