I basically got on a ferry to Sado under the assumption that I could stay in this hostel in the town of Niibo, near the port town where the ferry lands.
The ferry took two hours and I slept. When I got to Sado it was rather dark and the bus journey was a bit of a hope. I showed up at the hostel at about 10pm and fortunately she had rooms. If not I was gonna nag her to let me sleep on the settee or go knocking on doors or something.
Fortunately she was ace and let me stay, she also drove me to a 7/11 to get a Pot Ramen and gave me a Japanese political T Shirt, which I'm currently wearing.
It says 'Change the Cabinet' on it in English and Japanese. It gets me strange looks, considering that the election is on Sunday it does make a little sense. My T Shirt is pro the Democratic Party, which is good considering that the Liberals have ruled Japan almost uninterrupted for about 60 years. A two party system must be better than a one party system. I wish it had 'Change the National Diet' on it. The Diet is the Japanese Parliament. Pun opportunity lost.
