LOL! That's sooo Japanese ... so hilariously naive *g*. Honestly I love them, but they are hopeless when it comes to real knowledge of the world, geography, navigating and the cultural differences in transport.
The fact that buses don't have announcements for each stop (and the fact that the bus stops don't have names) terrifies my students when they are in Aus. and N.Z for study trips abroad. They are petrified about having to rely on sight recognition of the place of their home stay. I've lost count of their tales of being lost, going beyond the stop to the terminus and getting stuck. Luckily, most of them get helped out by a sympathetic bus driver who's finished their shift and drives them home.
