If it was not, I must apologize to an Australian woman who visited Kumamoto.
I talked to her at a bar in 2018. She was traveling on her own. We talked a lot about the Kumamoto earthquake in 2016.
I should have told her to take a streetcar with sign A
She said she would go to Ibusuki, to bathe in a sand bath which is one of the popular attractions of Ibusuki.
I enjoyed our conversation very much, but at the very last of it, I might have made a mistake.
She asked me how she could get to the Kumamoto station. So I told her to take a street car at the nearest stop, which is few minutes away on foot from the bar. And I added,
” Any streetcar is OK. All of them coming to the stop will take you to the station. “
I was wrong.
NOT all of them. Most of them.
Maybe because I was drunk, I totally forgot to tell her to take the train with a sign ” A “. If you get on a streetcar with a sign ” B “, you will end up at a wrong station.
I say 80 percent of the streetcars available in Kumamoto are with ” A,” the rest are with “B.” So she did not need a luck to get on a right one, but still had a possibility to take a wrong one.
I realized I had been wrong when I was getting sober on my way home and saw a “B” streetcar. I felt terribly sorry for her if she got on it. My error must be corrected as soon as possible but I had no way to reach her. Still, correction has not been made.
If the woman I possibly gave a wrong advice is reading this, please comment whether I had been right. I really want to know that. And if you have an opportunity, visit Kumamoto again.
