The meltdown

Just reading through Arnie Gundersons presentation found here

and saw this:






Sure looks like a face to me.


Shibuya Station

It's strange that when you live close to things you are the last person to know
what going on.
I had to go to Shibuya station last Friday on the Toyoko line.
When I got there it was jammed packed with people.
I thought " Oh No.. not some problems with the trains!"
BUT.. I realised most people had cameras and were snapping the train.
So what's up?
A big poster said " Thank you 85 years"
I guessed that this station was going somewhere.
When I finally got out of the melee I realised that this was the last day to use that station. Wow! I was there ! I saw the last trains!

Worth seeing don't you think. A thing of beauty.


Now the train ends up in some basement 5 floors down tied to the Fukutoshin
Subway Line ( whatever that is)probably miles away from the JR Yamanote line which is my usual connection.

Oh well! At least I was there on an auspicious day even though I was totally
ignorant of the fact.
Maybe I need to get out more.

a whole lotter shaking.......

Woken up with a fairly big shake this morning





Looks like it was near Disneyland.
Free ride today.




Slight problem?

Bought this in an Indian food shop the other day.



Hmmm, maybe their idea of vegetarian is different to mine.

Saw an ad on the train today.

FINAL MOVEMENT

Hmm...a medical problem?

I'll try to get a photo
