According to This Is Insider, an online news media company, Tokyo is the most populated city on Earth and has the busiest pedestrian crossings in the world. Every day, there are at least 3,000 people crossing the famed Shibuya station. Despite being overly crowded, everyone is polite and disciplined in crossing the streets even when the traffic lights change every two minutes. It is also considered the home to one of Tokyo’s busiest train stations carrying more than 2.4 million passengers a day. Shibuya Station began operating in 1885. Shibuya has also made its way to Hollywood films like The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and Resident Evil: Afterlife.

READ

I just bought a new air conditioner. Summer season is not here yet, but it is already hot. Are you considering to buy as well?
Actually, I already have one at home, but I do not always use it. I prefer to use an electric fan at night and I take a bath two to three times a day to stay fresh.

I think I will feel more relaxed if I keep the air conditioner on especially at noon and at night. I guess I should also take a bath two to three times a day as you do.
You can use your air conditioner at night. I heard that it contributes to global warming. It releases dangerous gasses in the air especially if it’s overused or misused.

Oh, you’re right. My Science teacher told us that air conditioners use too much electricity. I cannot afford to pay that high for my electricity bills.
I’m glad you understand. You don’t just save money, you also help save the environment. However, if you feel “under the weather” due to the heat, you can use it until you’re relaxed.

Those are good points. As long as I can stand the heat, I will just use an electric fan. I want to help reduce the effects of global warming in my own way no matter how little it may be.
That’s really nice of you. Let’s hope that the others will also consider options like this. I’m sure they will understand.

My car broke down this afternoon. I don’t think I can use it by tomorrow. I am supposed to have a meeting with clients.
I’m sorry to hear that. I think you can ride a bus or a taxi instead.

I’m going to the Italian restaurant downtown. I would prefer taking a taxi since it is more convenient.
I guess so. I always take the bus going downtown because the fare is cheaper. The Italian restaurant is also near the bus stop so it is hassle-free.

You have a point there. Let me decide tomorrow. I think it depends on the traffic situation. Thanks for your help.
Sure thing. I hope there won’t be any traffic jams tomorrow.

Yes, I have heard of that from one of my friends. His grandparents who live in the countryside let tourists stay in their house.

Wow! That is cool. I think it is a good way to relax from our busy city life.
You are right. Aside from staying in a relaxing environment, tourists can also go fishing, fruit-picking and cook various dishes with the homeowners.

That is very interesting! We should really try that as soon as we have free time.
