- walking is good, walking is fun -

the Meguro Line stopped.

i wasn't quite sure why did it happen. said the train station's notice board, in Japanese: train service is temporarily unavailable due to power transmission between stations. reluctantly, i walked to the next station Senzoku for some Mr. Donuts, thinking that the train service would resume once i finished my dinner.

BUT. obviously it didn't.

so i had no choice but to walk to Meguro to catch the Yamanote line. actually i had another easier option: to take the Ooimachi Line at Midorigaoka, transfer at Jiyuugaoka for Touyoko Line (rapid) to Shibuya, and from there, my usual path back home. but since it costs extra money (i paid about 9,000 yen for the bloody commutation ticket) i might as well burn some fats by walking.

didn't know the way to Meguro by foot at all. so i had to follow the railway (which disappeared at some point of my journey).

LOL. ive never been to one of these karaoke classes..

"the river" which im told to cross by the convenience store worker.

i see a glimpse of hope (行人坂 is a slope near Meguro station)..

crap, it's effing steep.... like, maybe 40 degrees?

believe me, it was steep...

omfg finally im back.....

train conductors and guards trying to persuade and apologize to passengers and notice board announcing the train delay (in orange words).

it says: 送電点検を行う関係で目黒線は　上下線で運転を見合わせております。

took me about 50 minutes to reach Meguro. got lost for 10 minutes at somewhere very near Meguro, with a sign saying "This is Meguro district." on my left and another one saying "This is Shinagawa district." on my right. fortunately the kind convenience store worker gave me some detailed directions (i hate asking for directions, cuz sometimes you don't get what they're talking about. maybe it's just me having no sense of direction at all).. good sweat, good sweat.
