I arrived in Ena City at 12:30 today and soon found out the city is quite different from 15 years ago when I lived here. The first thing I noticed was a good change -- the train station now has elevators to the platforms that are handicap accessible and friendly to foreigners who have way too much luggage. Loads of new buildings, parking garages and a huge business hotel make Ena look a little less inaka, or country, than it looked 15 years ago. Not all the changes are good, however. Ena now has two Ma-ku-doh-na-ru-do-zu, otherwise known as McDonalds. But hey, at least these McDonalds offer something different and perhaps healthier than those in the US -- ebi (shrimp) burgers.
