Our visit to Xi'an during Chinese New Year. It is amazing though, when our first arrival to Xi'an, it was snowing until the last of our very last day in Xi'an. The weather just starting to become like this. From us, the tree days of bad weather seems like a bad luck for us, but during our last day in Xi'an, it turns fine and very magnificently have a beautiful sun shine. This is awesome!! The photo shown is Drum Tower. It is one of important building located in historical city of Xi'an. If you come here, you are be able to experience the thousands years of China history. Believe it.

This is one of the bullet train that I found during our journey to Kyoto. From here, what I can see was the frequency of incoming bullet train is quite high. Sometimes, I repeatly miss the chance to capture this beautiful technology. Well, I like bullet train too. In Japan, this is called shinkansen (新幹線). Literally, the meaning for shinkansen is New Trunk Line. Now, Japanese people just pronounce it shinkansen because the meaning is obvious and related directly to this train. From the picture above, if I not mistaken it is Hikari type shinkansen of Tokyo-Shin-Osaka line. There have 3 types of shinkansen running through this line. The fastest one is Nozomi, then Hikari and the slowest is Kodama. Each of its type has different time schedule and frequency. The most frequent is Nozomi. In one hour about 4 Nozomis we can choose to take a ride. It is really frequent right? It is all for people convenience.

This JR line for metro train passed by the Japanese house. The train tracks is designed very near to houses. Every several minutes there will be a train that comes. When the train comes, the warning signal will starting to operate. Then the bar will block the road before the train pass by. This bar is operated electrically so no staff needed to operate this. At Nagoya and Gifu city, it is considered has a good public transportation system. At here, there has 3 main line that is JR, Meitetsu and Kintetsu. It is very convenient since the location of station is withing bicycle riding distance

This is another view of japanese house. Some of the house and its compartment is big, allowing to put several cars and have a 'large' garden. I think, it depends on the size of family as well. My foster parents has 4 children. Two of them already married. Right now, the person staying at the house is mother, father, 2 younger brother, two grandmother. Later, our family will add new person, that is two little babies that expected to born middle of year 2012. From my point of view, this is a good news if the number of family members becoming larger and larger than before. It is because one of the japan main crisis is low birth rates and it will severely effect japan giant economic flow. By looking at this house, how it is look like? Is it same as previous photos that I have shown to you? Yes, indeed. The design is almost same. But for me, i can see it is one of uniqueness about Japanese house. It is simple, cute and yet shows the functionality of each space at the house.

Another japanese house.. I always like japanese house and always want to show how nice their house it is.. Even the house is small, the placement between other house is really close to each other and sometimes people said it has a concern to privacy, but their culture is a consequences of this type of awesome design.. I can wait to see more Japanese houses that are unique. I think, you are be able to see the differences when I show several photos of houses.. It is amazing right? One of the unique element of their house is the material. The house wall is not a brick style wall. Their house color is quite nice and fantastic.. I like this color and how it effect the mood
