fucking japs. so fucking dumb using subways. Like dont they know that they could just rely on highways and roads for almost all of their transportation.

I mean look at the united states, its fucking awesome how roads make up almost everything. I love all the traffic jams and cars that flood every area where signs of human life is.

im jesting. I love walking. I think the way the United States has forced themselves down a path of reliance on automobiles is a tragic mis-step.

That's true but even in the major cities, the public transportation is incredibly inefficient and underfunded.

Dom Casmurro.
Read it and tell me if Capitu really betrayed him.
And also many other books by Machado de Assis. He was really good at unreliable narrators.

He does the same in The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas. Machado was pretty good in this shit, it's a pretty worthwhile read...
