Ever been on a train this nice? Only in Japan !









Believe it or not, the photo above is of a train interior in Japan !

With the results looking nicer than most nurseries, the Japanese have taken the idea of 'child-friendly public transport' to the next level with these 2 beauties, both designed by eiji mitooka. He was the artistic force behind 'omoden' (toy train) and 'ichigo ec' (strawberry train), a couple of regional trains which travel on a daily basis on the 14.3km kishigawa line in japan.

The Japanese are intent on making train travel a more comfortable experience for everyone, women and children especially, and the results are incredible.

Both trains contain hundreds of toys, TV screens showing cartoons, immaculately clean wooden flooring and cots for younger children. Call me cynical but I can't imagine anything like this emerging in India unless it was an attraction at a theme park.

Heart Attacks And Drinking Warm Water



This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

Common Symptoms Of Heart Attack..
