Japan approves plans for world's fastest train line

Ha ha ha, i didn't think of it that way, I just watched the end of 4th season yesterday, and just remembered Ygitte's famous line to correcting Mr. Snow. LOL.

Btw, what team are you rooting for ?

Daenerys, I watch it just for her, got a thing for platinum blonde, blondes in general, and red heads, fake ones.

PS. A Lannister always pays his debt... ;)

doubtful, Tywin owned me 5 bucks for posting that 10 comments for him.
 
''The company plans to finance the construction of the first stretch of the line by itself, and has estimated the cost at 5.5 trillion yen (US$50 billion).''

WTH?:o: Thats too expensive. Wow. Anyway it will take decades to build. Good projectif it really materializes. will love to travel in one, if it ever does.

You have highlighted the most problematic of problems with our world today. Too many plans that never materialize. We in the US have had plenty of infrastructure improvements planned, some even funded and the future never looked brighter, but ultimately the plans never come to fruition. I too believe that if this comes to pass that it will be great for Japan and frankly of the rest of us who like fast rail lines, but planning for what happens 30 years from now leaves too many opportunities to change the plan or forgo the investments. I hope it happens, I want to be the first to ride it (well after the people responsible for testing it).

I agree completely with what you said, Projects/intentions are different from them materializing.lool Most often, we have many plans/projects and little or none of them coming to life/being realized. Moreover as you said 30 years is too longggg. Many things will happen before then which might derail this plan/project. Im not really optimistic it will ever be realized, But i wish/hope im wrong.

Even if it does come to fruition, funding is found and production starts, can we truly believe that it will be as intended. There may be little in common between a lake and a rail line, but the lesson between what I will say is important. Once upon a time China had a plan to tap into and expand on a water source known as Dragon Lake. They had a plan, funding adn the project proceeded... just not as they planned. Where they planned for a bountiful source of water, they ended up with this;

Russia's Aral Sea is another great engineering disaster. Again, there is little in common between a dried lake and a rail line, but this is just a cautionary tale meant to show that plans, funding an intentions don't always happen to coexist the way we intend. I take solace in knowing that Japanese people take pride in their craftsmanship, product quality and safe, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
 
You can say that again. :)




This is going to be perfect for those who don't want to take regional jets from prefecture to prefecture. Second, its going to save a lot of money. I like this; efficiency and quality all rolled up into one package.

But won't this destroy your emerging regional jet market? The Mitsubishi MRJ has just launched and has had a grand welcome to the world of regional jets. They are already competing for contracts with Embraer which leads the world of corporate and regional jets followed by Bombardier, ATR and Dassault.

How is the Japanese aerospace community reacting to this?

Just curious to know.

LOL you like them because of the exotic taste. For me, the one who I had found beautiful was Ygitte. I would have stayed in that cave ...lol.
Something about red heads. So exotic !

Can your government make these fast train lines in India? I will give you delicious Indian curry in exchange ;)

red heads have their freckles, cute but not sexy. Is this the Japanese in you showing up? Going for cute rather than sex appeal?

Christina Hendricks is naturally blonde, not red. That's why she's the best of both worlds, red head and no freckles.

Cute fades, sexy, lasts.....a little longer, save you at least 2-3 divorces over the course of your life. If you were to get married, I'm saying.
