I do not live in Tokyo !

Now the situation is becoming clear; apparently I do not live in Tokyo! I live in Yokohoma, which is a city located 30 min away from Tokyo by train. I was confused because on the map there is no visible gap and it seems that Yokohoma is an area in Tokyo, but actually its a city of its own! Now I understand why it is so quiet here during evenings. What striked me most is the limited transportation; there are no night busses while the day busses stop going around 9pm and the trains in midnight, which means that its simply impossible to get home I stay for a late drink. Hmm, how do I move to Tokyo I wonder ...


Now its also clear to me why the trains here have a square shape with vertical walls, rather than rounded as is in London! Its simply more practical ! Apparently, it fits more passengers. Confused ? So actually when the train is packed, they get in with their back forward and thus pushing and squeezing the crowd even more without seeing the faces, and thus not feeling guilty. This is ofcourse impossible in a rounded shape wagon as a person can not bend backwards. I wonder if this was one of the reasons for the design :)

Also, after three days in Japan I decided to make a royal visit to the Imperator .. but unfortunately his palace was closed and he did not expect me, thus I could only go around the park ...
in the same area, there is a Museum of Modern Art, and there was an exhibition by Paul Gauguin. Its strange to see his paintings with Japanese explanations. I also visited Modern Japanese Art, and a number of works were very beautiful. Like this one for example ... its a moving picture ! on plazma screens ... looks good !

And there are calluses on my feet ... no more walking tomorrow ...
