And a study in brand guidelines and iconography for the World Expo 70, held in Osaka that year - my favourite
Which other event needs iconography for a Monorail?
-
@hugh unable to find any iconography, but I will note that Seattle also has a monorail built for a world fair!

It's also worth sharing a photo of the dispatcher's console, used on the Shinkansen platforms.
Their role seems to be solely to open and close the platform edge doors, and some associated safety checks.
Looks pretty cool through!
It's almost 9am and I'm at this insalubrious bus terminal, smelling of diesel fumes.
More popular than the public transport is the tonkatsu restaurant here, that has a queue of hundreds stretching around the terminal
Seriously! Clearly this is excellent tonkatsu!
(Sadly I cannot take a photo, as it obviously contains many people)

Reviews of some Japanse snackfoods from the last couple of weeks. 1. Custard bun thing. Pretty tasty, seemed to include cream too. Could have been a better custard.
2. Spam rice ball. Excellent - goes really well with the seaweed & the saltiness cuts through the glutenous rice.
3. Chocolate cream bun. Rubbery; came from a vending machine with a BBE in 2028 and tasted like it too.
4. Squid strips. Salty, fishy and tasty. Could do with a sauce to dip into. -

My Suica has been vandalised!
It transpires this has a leuco rewritable coating, so special products (like this 1 day season) are literally lasered onto the front (including a map!) and overwritten/removed once used.
Extremely extra but very cool. I've never seen one of these in the wild before.
This is what happens when the coating is rewritten. You can see some artifacts remain - apparently if you get someone to ''clear" it several times you can entirely remove them.
The card comes out quite warm after this!
I've converted my Suica to be "named", so in theory it can now be replaced if lost?
