Scooters are a very popular mode of transportation here. They are also responsible for any ulcer I may develop in the future. You have to be very careful when changing lanes or turning. They drive on the center line or up the shoulder of the road, weaving in and out of traffic as they go. You don't hear them until they are right next to you. It gives me a heart attack everytime. As an American, I have been educated that any accident I am involved in is going to be at least 10% my fault, no matter what. The logic is that as a foreigner, if I wasn't here the accident would have never happened. The Japanese are big on being subtle. I think it is a polite way of saying, "Yankee Go Home!!".
