The greatest mode of travel in the world is Japan's bullet train. My one tip is to make sure you book a seat on the side that'll be facing Mt. Fuji when you go by it because it's worth the price of admission alone (not really, the round trip ride is expensive as shit compared to most public transportation, but I assume you'll be using it to go between cities)

I miss traveling. There was a time when it was my whole life goal. Now it's been over a year since I last properly traveled. This picture is from my trip to Japan two years ago, taking the Shinkansen for the first time.
I love public transport and trains (experiencing them in different countries is the best). But is the Shinkansen a bit overrated? Donโt get me wrong, the scenery is stunning, and the little tune at each stop is so charming. But the speed gave me motion sickness, and the windows aren't as big as I expected. Still, such a cool experience!

๐I love trains so much.I think there the peak of human invention.Especially bullet trains, your telling me a train is going fast af but u just chilling and enjoying insane views and u donโt feel the speed heโll yea.I think that instead of having cars and highways we get a bunch of train systems and trains to take us everywhere we gotta go. It would benefit our environment and socially.Just talking with strangers While riding on a dope train back from the movie theater,and talking about the movie u watched HELL YEA.

A master at writing genre fiction as literary fiction. Multiple narratives, stellar characters, a time-hopping, pre- and post-apocalyptic plot, and a killer miniseries adaptation to watch once youโre finished

I only saw her perform twice, but I honestly donโt think Iโve ever seen anyone else live more than once (though I obviously would like to see a lot of them live again). At least I can say one of the times I saw her was her very first US performance ๐ฅน๐
