Being carless h...Hi Haitham, nice to hear from you!<br />Being carless has been a gradual evolution. At first I was here for a post-doc - too short to invest in a car, then I was staying longer but without enough money to buy the least wreck, and finally when I could afford one I was just used to getting around otherwise. It's not that hard!<br />Great photos of Japan - I love your non-tourist view of the country.NanUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596765792663269178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434099172039136838.post-79126597696834431102009-05-19T14:54:00.000+02:002009-05-19T14:54:00.000+02:00I am in PRECISELY the same boat (or almost--i can ...I am in PRECISELY the same boat (or almost--i can walk to work and then use the office car to drive to schools). I've resisted getting a car and have to take buses if I want to go somewhere far. I do have a bike (a "mama-chari," with the same implication that you'd expect) that I love to ride around to nowhere in particular. Most of the pics you see on my blog are from my meanderings on 2 wheels.<br /><br />My hat is off to you for going the public-transport route. I love the pictures too--I miss Europe something fierce! : )haithamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420740809618139491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434099172039136838.post-65709159793860969942009-05-18T22:54:00.000+02:002009-05-18T22:54:00.000+02:00Nice tour de France of public transport...I agree ...Nice tour de France of public transport...I agree with you, I'd much rather take a train for 3 hours than take a plane, the scenery is better, the experience is healthier on us and the planet...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011213468397062735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434099172039136838.post-25168943416312482532009-05-18T02:47:00.000+02:002009-05-18T02:47:00.000+02:00I live in a small city of 35,000 in southern Ontar...I live in a small city of 35,000 in southern Ontario, Canada and we have similar public transportation problems.

Great take on transportation. It is so much fun to see what everyone comes up with each week.<br /><br />I enjoyed your photos and commentary. I especially liked the the flea market area. Not only is that my kind of place, the photo was terrific.<br /><br />Thanks for a great assignment. A good time was had by all.<br /><br />We are waiting on Reggie Girl to pick a name so we can get next weeks assignment.

Bikers are treated with disdain here in Toronto and it looks like a life threatening mode of transportation.<br /><br />It is hilarious how many people thought to take pictures of the shoe collection.
