[Date] 04/03/06 [Destination] Niigata International Airport [Distance] 44KM [# Vehicles] 2 [Highlights of trip] 
A young mother with her two year old son took me as far as Niigata City, and from there I grabbed a bus the rest of the way. Approximately 7% of drivers who pick me up have children under 5 years of age in the back seat. I bet I couldn't get anywhere close to that hitchhiking in the US of A. I like keeping these kinds of statistics because it shows what a safe country Japan still is. But things are getting bad just like the rest of the world, sad to say.
