The Morning Commute

It's about forty five minutes from the house to Yokohama station. Then it's ten minutes walk to the school. I leave at about 7.45 each morning and join the morning rush heading up towards Tokyo. The monorail is a great idea it takes up a lot less room than ordinary rail and has the advantage of running up steeper hills and not messing up the landscape so much. The Japanese train system is quite honestly one of the wonders of the world, more on that later.



 Down the street,                                                      

                                                                                                      turn at Mr Azalia's splendid garden.

Catch the monorail, 

 

then the train..
