I do have a car but I only really use it
to go to the supermarket or to visit
friends who live out of town
I use public transport whenever possible
there's so much traffic on the road
already and I don't want to add to that
the bus is the most convenient form of
Transport for me as there's a bus stop
very close to my apartment
bus fares are expensive but I have a bus
pass which makes it cheaper I buy a pass
once a month and then I can use the bus
as many times as I want buses are
Greener now than in the past they are
quieter they use less Fuel and create

I work mostly from home but once or
twice a week I have to travel to another
city for work it's about an hour from
where I live
I have a choice between taking the bus
or the Train the bus is much cheaper
than the train but the journey is much
slower as there are often bad traffic
jams on the motorway so I take the train
the trains are reliable they usually
leave on time and they're quite comfortable
comfortable
it's expensive but the train fares are
much cheaper if you book in advance
I find traveling by train quite
enjoyable except when it's really

I live in a big city and as in many big
cities there's a lot of traffic
traveling by car is very slow and it's
really hard to find parking spaces in
the city center
public transport is good
but it gets very crowded and you often
can get a seat
it's also very expensive
that's why I Go Everywhere by bike
luckily I live in a city which is very
good for cycling
for example the main roads have special
cycle Lanes to be honest though I
usually avoid the main roads and cycle
in the quietest streets because they are

here I am in Tokyo it's 11 p.m and I'm
standing outside a manga kisser what you
might ask is a manga kisser well kisser
is a Japanese word for Cafe and manga
are Japanese comic books and this is
where I'm going to stay the night
but don't worry I've done my research
and according to my guidebook manga
cafes are a good choice if you're
looking for somewhere cheap to spend the night
night
manga cafes are everywhere in Japan
in the past they were places where you
could go to Read Manga for a few hours
and Escape The Busy streets
now they have become something different
they offer internet access and computer
facilities as well as manga books
they're open 24 hours and they sell food
and drinks
people often use them as a cheap form of
accommodation you pay per hour for your
time in the cafe but it's much less
expensive than a hotel so
so
I'm gonna stay the night in a manga kisser
kisser
well as they say you have to try
everything once
so here we are inside the cafe
there are walls and walls of manga books
displayed from floor to ceiling there
are thousands of them
I haven't seen anything like this before
according to the guidebook manga is
popular with men and women of all ages
in Japan not just teenagers
they are a very important part of
Japanese culture and manga artists are
very respected
there are quite a lot of people here
some look like Travelers but a lot of
people are local
some are reading but most people are
watching videos and playing games on computers
computers
nobody's serving food but if I need
something to eat there are loads of
vending machines
wow there's an enormous choice
all kinds of soft drinks pot noodles Ice Cream
so I'm now outside my room
I'm just
taking off my shoes
everyone leaves their shoes outside the room
room
and now I'm going to have a look inside
well it's not exactly a room
it's tiny and the walls only reach as
high as my shoulder and the bed's not
really a bed but a kind of long flat
seat like a bench
but there's a blanket
it's not exactly five-star accommodation
but I've got my own personal private
space and that's what matters
I think I'm going to sleep very well in here
