As I came outside Narita and continue my journey to UEC, I was in fact dissapointed with what I saw. I have always imagine Tokyo to be modern and glamorous, however I did not see those on the way to UEC. All I saw were rundown buildings covered with black soot from air pollution. As I arrived in Chofu station, I felt a little lost and disorientated, especially due to the existence of hundreds of people around me. Initially, it was very hard to adapt to a crowded environment since I came from a small town, where there are only less than 100,000 people in the city center.
