    Topic:Trains

    When I travel, one of my interests and activities I see there would be watching and experiencing train rides.

    Trains in Japan is very efficient and useful,furthermore, there are shops inside statoins and normally, there are many shops in front of statoins.

    When I visited Tokyo first time,I thought train is going through cuz the trains entered station so speedy.But it was actually stopping at the station,I just misunderstood it cuz one train set is about 10 cars..





    One more thing i was surprised was some train cars got 5 doors ..



    My favourite train,Singapore MRT opened a new line,circle line a few months ago.
    I really want to try it.





    its desgin,cleanliness,clear announcement,spacious station,safety platform screen door,easylink card are perfect.

    Hong Kong also have very similar train,MTR. not MRT but MTR,so confusing thou..




    Ah very nice!Whats great about Hong Kong MTR is the line opened 30 years ago,but it still look new and clean,shiny.

    Perth,Australia also have a train lines.Transperth.

    I was amazed at the floor of train,it was carpetted!





    Train announcement was not in Australian accent,but normal accent..

    Bangkok metro is also nicee.





    Its super clean and looking good UNLIKE ground level which is mostly chaos!
    Its totally different world between road on the ground and Metro in the underground.

    I really hope Nagoya subway also will renovate itself like one of trains above i introduced..





    look so old.toilet stinks,no contactless tickets,no platform screen doors,messy advertisement.

    Huh..well,its still efficient and useful,but maybe they can do something about problems i said .
    But I dont know if citizens will agree with spending much tax on improvinh the facilities into shiny spacious metro system like ones in singapore or in hong kong..

    Maya Brasserie@Hotel Maya

    This is Maya Brasserie where you have breakfast in Hotel Maya.
    When I nearly finished my breakfast,I noticed a menu at my table.
    It says please order from here.
    I DID NOT know we can have menu meals!I just thought it was only buffet style restaurant.
    So i ordered..I squeezed the meals into my already-full stomach,not to waste precious meal in the hotel.
    as we entered the restaurant, we were assigned to a seat(2 seat only for one small table) which was really small,and even worse, our table is kind of connected to next table..no separation or anything..So we were so close to another couple sitting down next to us. I think its so bad we can clearly listen to what they are talking and vice versa, they can clearly hear what we were talking.
    By the way,a couple sitting next to us was one British male,one Asian girl..I wondered if the woman was a prostitute or just an ordinary girlfriend of his...He was talking to her in slow and very clear English to her,but she seemed she didn't understand it.








    Porridge





    This is one of menu meal I ordered at the end of breakfast.I pushed it into my stomach!

    Northwest lounge at Narita airport

    This is Northwest lounge in Narita.
    This was my first time to use lounge.Now I want to get gold credit card I can use several lounges.
    I was impressed by Apple computers.
    I had glasses of japanese sake,wine,beer,whisky...with some snacks.
    later,I got tipsy,haha.
















    At the end, I used shower room in the lounge.

    Teriyaki Burger

    For a lunch meal today, I drove a car to Macdonald near my house with a discount coupon available on their official website in my hand.



    This coupon is available only starting with 14 oclock or later than that.
    I used drive-thru lane and bought meals.




    One Cheese burger,1 cup of coke S size, and Shaka Shaka(Shaking) chicken cost only 250yen.
    Teriyaki burger at 100yen.

    Total:350yen

    Here in Japan where normal lunch meal cost at least 500yen. Its a good deal.
    I wonder if Teriyaki burger is available only in Japan or not.






    Its chicken with lettace and mayonaise.taste so nice.

    This is Shaka Shaka chicken.








    A piece of chicken comes with a package of powder cheese.
    I opened the package and put the cheese into the paper bag above.
    Then I shaka-shaka it!! up and down right and left~
    After a while, I zipped off the paper bag along the dot line in the middle of the paper.
    Then the chicken is nicely sticked with the cheese powder.
    It also tastes awesome!
