Bullet train

I was surprised to see how much of Japan is accessible from the bullet train(s).

Of course, Youtube is not to be letting one down:

I checked out the website but it has a lot of links. I'll look for the train pics again later as they didn't stand out on my first pass.

. . . one: the first time I rode a Maglev train in Shanghai, I fell in love.

two: of note for me, was the little side survey (down, on the left) on public disposition towards Japan fingerprinting and photographing all foreigners coming into the country. w. t. f.
