Is there a convenience store near here?
HOTEL CLERK:
No, there isn't.
(But it turns out that there is a supermarket
inside the hotel complex. I bought a bottle of water there.
That was all I wanted. Why didn't she mention the supermarket?)
MY QUESTION:
How do I get to the Tengu Mountain Ropeway?
LADY AT TRAIN STATION INFO DESK:
Please take a bus at Platform #3.
(But it turns out that there are two Platform #3's.
Why didn't she tell me?
We nearly took the wrong bus.)
MY QUESTION:
Can we get a tax refund for this later at the airport?
LADY AT A GLASSWARE SHOP:
You can get it here.
MY QUESTION:
But can we get it later at the airport?
LADY AT A GLASSWARE SHOP:
You can get it here.
MY QUESTION:
(Are you one of those stupid AI systems from the seventies?)
This was my third visit to Otaru. Fourth? No thanks.
But we had good food and took good pictures.
