Japanese Trains

My brother PJ is taking holidays in Japan at the moment. His second trip. I am not a fascinated as he is, or as I should be, towards the cultures of the Far East, but I do envy him for one thing: he has been traveling by train. I love all sorts of trains.  My favourite are the old fashioned steam trains, but Japanese trains, with their out of this world speed and high tech, well, they must be something too. So I watch this picture he took, the picture of a trin taken from a train, and I hope I can experience it.
