Leo, let's discuss transportation in Eswatini and Japan. What's it like getting around in each country?
In Eswatini, the transportation infrastructure is quite basic. The road network is a mix of paved and unpaved roads. Public transport primarily consists of minibuses, known as "kombis," which are frequent but unreliable.
So, if I need to be somewhere on time, a rental car is a better option?
Definitely. A rental car offers more reliability, though you'll need to watch out for potholes.
Okay. What about Japan? I imagine it's vastly different.
Japan's transportation is exceptional. The train system is renowned for its punctuality and efficiency, covering most of the country. The Shinkansen bullet train is a marvel of engineering.
And the subway systems?
Equally impressive—clean, safe, and extensive. You can reach almost anywhere easily.
Amazing! What about air travel to Eswatini?
Eswatini has King Mswati III International Airport, but it's not a major hub. Many travelers connect through Johannesburg, South Africa.
So, Johannesburg, then a kombi to my final destination. Sounds adventurous! What are your final thoughts on transportation in both countries?
Eswatini requires patience; Japan offers unparalleled convenience and efficiency.
Perfectly summarized.
