Viral: Travel Vlogger Gives Inside Look At Japan's Iconic Bullet Train, Internet Reacts

NDTV21-04-2025
Ever wondered what it feels like to be inside a bullet train? The thought has probably crossed your mind at least once. Recently, a travel vlogger shared her experience of travelling in this iconic Japanese mode of transport. Known for their blazing speed, these trains not only connect major cities but are also strictly punctual. The vlogger posted a video on Instagram revealing that she travelled from Tokyo to Sendai via the bullet train for 10,500 yen (Rs 6300). She had to pay an additional amount of 4800 yen (Rs 2800) for seat reservation.
Since bullet trains are right on time, even being one second late to the platform can cost you the entire ride. The travel vlogger had a similar distressing encounter. But a premium hack offered by the train authorities helped her take the much-anticipated ride. In the clip, she revealed that passengers who have missed their reserved train ride can book an unreserved coach at the same price. The globetrotter assured that these unreserved coaches are equally brilliant, so you need not worry about the quality.
According to the vlogger, a more convenient approach to riding a bullet train is to get the Japan Rail Pass. She shared that the pass enables you to board as many bullet trains as you want. It also helps you to get an on-spot reservation for any train. Once the travel vlogger was inside the bullet train, the facilities left her mind-blown. Every seat was equipped with a folded table. There was free WiFi available, making her journey more enjoyable. Upon entering the washroom, the vlogger found out that the train had shared men's and women's toilets, including wheelchair-friendly options and a spacious baby changing station.
She disclosed that the doors to the washroom were operated automatically. Since the functions could be confusing, the vlogger advised first-time bullet train travellers to confirm whether the door is closed or not by checking the light indicator beside the door. As per the vlogger, one of the best features of the trains was the heated toilet seats. She showed a control panel on the side that regulates the jet spray motion and other functions. What's more, the video also introduced viewers to a multi-purpose room for those seeking some privacy.

Did Rebel Kid aka Apoorva Mukhija's ex-boyfriend, just drop a ‘cute little red flag' song for her? Song accuses of lies and cheating

Known online as Rebel Kid, Apoorva Mukhija has been trending for reasons beyond her viral videos. After Sufi Motiwala hinted at their friendship ending, her ex-boyfriend, Utsav Dahiya, has now fired back with a cryptic but sharp message. What did Utsav Dahiya post online? On Sunday, Utsav uploaded a song titled Cute Little Red Flag on Instagram, a phrase Apoorva often uses in her content. Alongside, he penned a long note accusing her of spreading lies, twisting narratives, and portraying him as toxic. He claimed, 'I dodged a bullet,' alleging that he even caught her cheating. One of the biting lyrics went: 'Pucha maine ghatiya kyun bola mujhe duniya ke liye, kehti baby yeh toh sab dhandha hai mere liye.' Watch video View this post on Instagram A post shared by Utsav Dahiya (@utsavdahiya) Did he threaten to share receipts? Yes. In his caption, Utsav wrote, 'Ab agar koi aur bakwaas kari toh main seedha receipts nikalunga.' He accused Apoorva of using her large following to rage-bait audiences and bully others. He further said he once contacted Apoorva's agency to clarify his name, but was dismissed with, 'You're a nobody, be glad you dated her.' His reply: 'Numbers only matter on an app. Truth stands without followers.' He ended with another jab, 'Toh tum chalao apna ghar kalesh se, but stop spreading lies about others. Let people do some real work in their lives. Grow up, kid.' How did the internet react? On Reddit, many praised Utsav's 'revenge through art'. One user joked, 'Utsav toh Taylor Swift nikla.' Another wrote, 'Turning trauma into music is classy revenge.' Several netizens felt he had been wronged and finally took a stand. What was Apoorva's past stand? Back in January last year, Apoorva publicly confirmed her breakup with Utsav, hinting that he was abusive and 'ghatiya'. She told fans she would reveal her next partner 'only at the wedding'. Since then, her breakup tales have become part of her storytime content. At the heart of it, what looks like just another social media spat has now turned into music, memes, and a very public blame game — one that the internet is eagerly watching.
