Toneri liner



Wednesday is ladies day for movie in Japan. I don't know if there is gentlemen's day... Maybe not.
Anyway, you can see any movies almost for half price if you are a lady! That's great!!! I saw two movies this morning.
"Nim's Island" and "Hancock"

By the way, some new railways were opened recently in Tokyo. I can see one of them from my apartment's veranda. That line is the Toneri liner which connects Nippori and Toneri. I took the Toneri liner for fun the day before yesterday.
I was very surprised when I arrived at Nippori(Right), because it's changed very much!!
There is a new station building and some high-rise apartments are being built.
I used to go there often when I was a university student, and it wasn't developed at all.
I was just standing for a little while, and reminiscing about what was there before. 

Toneri liner is an elevated line(Left), and it takes only 20 minutes one way. I looked outside from the very front of the front car among kids. I enjoyed seeing  my neighborhood from the train.
