A sort ofAs an Olympic reporter in Tokyo, you once again face a major question from your school days: Where is the coolest seat on the bus? At that time, when Line 21 was winding from the village to the city, the answer was clear: the further back, the further away. And today?
In these days in Tokyo, it happens from time to time that you have one of the many coaches in the Olympic shuttle system. They are only used to drive journalists back and forth between venues, halls and hotels. But because there are not many people who want to drive an hour to the Ariake shooting range, for example, you sometimes go in and see: everything is free.
not talking!
Of course, there is the bus driver at the front, but you really shouldn’t talk to him. It is even written on warning labels on some buses. It’s a bit annoying in this case, because when it comes to the coolest seats, he will be an expert.
When looking for answers, you must succeed without him-first follow your personal needs. If you want to make up for sleep-in fact you always want to make up for sleep at the Olympics-you should choose a seat without curtain brackets. Otherwise you can’t rest your head on the window glass. Another underrated technique: adjust the backrest and place your head in the small gap formed between your own seat and the adjacent seat. Only in one row does not work well: in the last row.
Therefore, unlike on the school bus in the past, one of the seats in the front row has a lot to say. The wifi there should work more reliably, and if the time to change trains at the media bus stop is short again, you can get off the bus faster.
Now, after spending more than 14 days in Tokyo, not only do you have to walk around in the Olympic bubble, you can certainly take the public bus from time to time to see which seat the Japanese think is the coolest. But you don’t do it. Because of the virus. There is also a wireless network.
