I had to make the 60 second walk to the neighborhood grocery store this evening to buy a couple potatoes to make dinner. In the time it took me to walk into the store, grab a sack of potatoes, pay, and walk back to my house this appeared:

I was looking at a child who fell off his bike as I was turning the corner, and almost ran into the truck (I’m guessing he fell for the same reason. Also his mother was right there checking on the kid so that’s why I didn’t involve myself.)

I’ve never seen a food truck randomly set up on the corner of my street before. It seemed like he was selling produce, and snacks... so one street over from the grocery store doesn’t seem like the best locale.

The last time I lived close enough to shops and public transit to actually walk anywhere to do my errands was 1998, and I miss it.

I do occasionally walk long distances when the Jeep is in the shop, but it’s almost always out of desperation and involves busy streets with no sidewalks. This is a crappy city for walking.

He won’t let you past unless you buy something. It’s genius!

It doesn’t take much to block my street. The guy washing his turtle cage outside in the street was enough to keep a car from fitting past today.

So that’s why he was staring at me as I slid past him. I’ll just blame being gaijin for not knowing the rules.
