For all its bright lights and crowded streets, Tokyo is a quiet town.
The malls are full and airports worse, but Tokyo is a quiet town. No one speaks except to friends... and no one sings, or shouts, or stomps... because Tokyo is a quiet town; a busy, hustling, bustling, moving town, but never a "scene in public" type of town.
So, when I bit the horse and felt his leg against my tongue, no one yelled, or whined, or whinnied (Tokyo is a quiet town), which was not what I expected.
American horses are on the plains or in a paddock on the farm, but this old horse was on a plate (did not complain), because Tokyo is a quiet town.
