In Which We Encounter Japanese Engineering At It’s Finest
It’s always reassuring to know that the Tokyo subways are state-of-the-art.

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!

LOL!
Looks like someone’s science project!
One they didn’t get an “A” on!
Whenever a ship goes into a repair period out here, the entire interior has the same kind of jerry-rigging everywhere. It’s honestly impressive.
It’s kind of reassuring, actually, that even in the middle of an ocean, the inevitable mechanical failures can be fixed (at least temporarily) with good old American ingenuity ^^;;
Haha, I was referring to when we’re in our upkeep/dry dock period. The ship is essentially grounded, and it’s Japanese ingenuity. We have to do everything by the books*, but the contractors just have to get the job done.
*This is a system you really don’t want to know about lol
