Train

I recently (over the weekend) experience boarding and exploring the very complicated train network of Japan. It must have been the world's largest (i guess) train network (wala sa kalinkingan ang Strong Republic Transit System ng Pinas)


I am used to travelling here by Yokohama Municipal Subway. My accommodation is 4 station away from my office (and it takes about 6 minutes). But this weekend, I tried to board the other trains. Yesterday, we went to Angel's (my SFC household leader) dorm at Komaba for our rehearsal for next week's CFC-Yokohama Christmas Party. We agreed to meet up at Yokohama Station (this station is a central station for 5 lines). So from Yoshinocho I took the subway to Yokohama (that means additional ¥200 because my train pass is upto Sacuragicho only). This is my first time to go to Yokohama alone, although I am familiar with the place. At the Yokohama Station we board the Toyoko Line to Shibuya. We choose to board the Rapid train (meaning express lane). And from Shibuya we transferred to Keio Line to Komaba (this time we take the local train because Komaba is jus 2 stations away from Shibuya).


A while ago, after the mass, we went to Shinagawa (at Angel's school the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology also for the rehearsal). So after eating out with my batchmates, I took the Negeshi Line (Rapid) from Kannai. This is my first time to be in Shinagawa but I even have guts to travel alone (rose, mei and glenda took Osogo line). After the rehearsal, we went back to Shinagawa Station, but this time we took the rapid Tokaido line to Yokohama then transfered to Negeshi line and again transfer to Yokohama Subway from Sacuragicho to Bandobashi where I bought my food supply for this week.


It is indeed a tiring weekend for me, but one thing is for sure, I j¥enjoyed travelling here in Jaoan, iit seems complicated but not.


I can't wait for next weekend. I am again to board other train lines (I guess) because the Christmas Party will be held in Tokyo.
