I went to Japan and didn't know any Japanese and not mapeople speak English. On my way back to Kansai airport i had to take two buses, I had my friend to write down the address to show to the first bus driver so that he could tell me where I needed to get off the bus. Once I got there, the driver probably saw me a bit confused not sure where to go so he decided just to leave the bus there (all other passengers left the bus already) and walked me for few streets to the 2nd bus. Love Japanese!
