No Tax Money Used Here

Sep

Japan has developed most comprehensive pubic transportation system in the world. You can actually travel pretty much everywhere without having a car.

The main train system was called Japan National Rail (JNR) and was wend by the government. In april 1, 1987, JNR was privatized and became Japan Rail (JR).

So, most of public transportation system, train, buses, airlines and taxies are not funded by the tax money. It is wonderful. I think the US should learn from that.

Office Away From Home

Sep

This is going to be my office and home for next 4 nights.
When there is an Internet connection, I can do 80% of my work.
I think I am lucky that way.
So I am okay for next few days.

The hotel I am staying used to charge money for an Internet access but they stop doing that few years ago.
Now both wired and wireless Internet are included in the price.

Compared to how much hotels cost in Seattle/Bellevue/Redmond/Kirkland areas, This hotel is bargain at less than $200 a night in the middle of Tokyo.
