The first time I ever used transit by myself was my first year at “Centennial Secondary High School.” Now that’s much older then any independent kid in Japan. However, since I am so much older I have more experience and knowledge with danger in everyday life. The first time I took transit by myself was when I was going to school. A very boring first time but it was my first so of course I should include it. If school is out of the equation then my memory says that the first time I went somewhere was to meet up with a friend in a mall.
