I had forgotten about that. Crossing the streets as a pedestrian is really dangerous, isn't it? You always look away from oncoming traffic when you go to step into the street.

Yeah exactly and so many time I would put my foot on the street then look the right direction to see a car coming my way

When I first came to Japan, that happened all the time. It's scary, isn't it? That would make a good post and warning to travelers.
