through another's eyes

After following countless links, I came upon this history of a blogger's life. He's from Japan, and it was very interesting to read what event's he noted and how he noted them. It's like US and Japanese history rolled into one, without the American pride. It also hit me that the JR-Tokurazuka train crashed this year. Many people have brought this up in conversation to me since I have been here. Kato even told me the exact turn it happened on. For those that don't know. This is the only JR line that goes from Itami to anywhere. I ride this line at least 5 times/week, if not more. Crazy thinking that over 100 people died from a conductor going too fast.
