Métro de Paris

No story about Paris is complete without mentioning Métro or Métropolitain, the underground rapid transit of the city. Famous for its Art Nouveau style ( metro was first opened for the Exposition Universelle in 1900 when art nouveau was à la mode )  the signage is quite something. Unfortunately I dont have much chance to find more signs of Metro, nor enjoy riding this transportation. may be some other time.





For more info about Paris Métro find it here, a brief yet clear overview from wikipedia. If you want to know more, find it here, a nice story with more photos of beautiful metro signs and stations.

Winter Light III

Riding Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka, another side of Japan caught my sight. And what impressed me more, was the sun rays beneath the clouds. Mesmerizing.

Choo Choo, Here Comes The Train!

Living in Japan is about living in a train I guess...
that's the first thing you're heading to, the mighty one you try to catch everyday,
and the last thing you run to for before you go home.
