You've Never Done This Before...

It's the summer, and if you want to waste a little leisure time and see a little of Japan via your computer screen, this link gives you a unique opportunity to drive a commuter train in Japan. The line is the one our daughters have used to get to school our entire time in Japan, so we know the scenes you'll see from the cab very well.

When you hear the annoucement for the next station, you need to apply the brakes hard, and then ease off as the train comes into the station, being careful to stop at the exact place indicated. That's the way the real drivers do it.
